On a loosely-related note, I find myself in the unfortunate position of
being the target of Outlook-generated appointment emails (including a
calendar attachment). In self-defense, I have begun looking at having
these things automatically added to my org appointments, but I have had
trouble with the emacs icalendar library (in particular, timezone
handling: a critical item for me, since these appts are generated from
various timezones and the included ics files have a bewildering variety
of timezone specs in them - I blame M$ for this :) ).
So I just wanted to point out three things:
o there *is* an emacs elisp library to handle icalendar files.
o I think it is buggy.
o using the Python libraries is a great way to figure out where the
elisp library goes wrong (assuming I'm right and that it *is* going
wrong somewhere) and possibly fixing it.
Thanks for pointing the Python libraries out. If you get somewhere with
them, maybe you can fix the emacs icalendar library too: it might be
just what you need to expand your elisp skills.[fn:1]
Thanks,
Nick
Footnotes:
[fn:1] Tom Sawyer would be proud of me ;-) I find myself pressed for
time and with too many things to do, so it's not clear when (or even if)
I would be able to work on this.
