I'm just learning to work with C++ and MFC (Microsoft's Foundation
Classes).  Half the time I saying, "I don't understand, why did they do
this THIS way???".  But they is da giant. So I just do it their way and
shake da head.

I'll just use Textpad to convert the file until (if ya decide) there is a
feature to export the way the giant says you must.

Sending you another new version off-list; it has a checkbox on the cal list page which, if clicked, uses MS-non-standard linefeeds. I don't run LookOut, so you'll have to test and tell me if this even works at all.

Hey Paul,

Everything is working on the Squirrelmail side, but now I'm trying to
use
the exported ics file with Outlook and Outlook says there is something
wrong with the format of the file.

The error it gives is:

===================================================================
This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar
appointment in iCalendar format.
To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead of
Lunar.
====================================================================

This doesn't make much sense as the "CALSCALE" in the ics file is set to
GREGORIAN.  Any idea why this is not working?

Yeah, MS can go take a [EMAIL PROTECTED]&@# [EMAIL PROTECTED]@#!! ^&%.... uh, oh...

There are tons of reports about this on Google, and only one solution to
be had, which is to convert all linefeeds in the file to just \n, which,
surprise surprise, is NOT part of the iCal standard.

Therefore, I don't think I'm too interested in offering a "fix".  You'll
want to try converting the file to "DOS" format or some such thing and
trying again.

I dunno, if it really helps, maybe I can put a checkbox on the export
page or maybe an option buried in the calendar prefs for this.

MS sucks.
