Thanx for sending that new version with the checkbox! Unfortunately I am
getting the same behavior with the new exported file, as mentioned below,
when attempting to import into Outlook 2003. I kind of expected this as I
had already saved the previous file in MS PC format with no success. I
wish I knew why Outlook was choking on this file. I have gone through the
file and saved into PC format again. I have removed a number of fields. All to the exact same effect. I even removed ALL events except one with
the same error. I think Outlook just doesn't want us Exporting or
Importing data. Just use their crack, and only their crack.
Well, I wish I knew what the problem was, but as far as I know, the iCal generated by the plugin should be all valid per RFC. If not, I'd like to know. You may want to keep Googling for other solutions, or even visit M$ knowledgebase. I don't have the time or willingness to submit to their whims right now.
Cheers,
Paul

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. -paul
