ICalendar - Mozilla - Outlook compatibility

["Germán M. Rivera" <rivera@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

   An application I'm developing writes ICalendars for repeating 
events. It would be desirable (almost necessary) that those ICalendars 
could be imported in Outlook 2002 and Mozilla Calendar. Outlook 2002 
supports the property VTIMEZONE -with some restrictions- but Mozilla 
ignores it and interprets DTSTART (and DTEND) as local time. Specifying 
DTSTART (and DTEND) in UTC time format makes Mozilla at least to 
calculate the correct local time, but without considering time zone 
shifts (from DST to Standard Time or vice versa).

   So it is impossible to have an ICalendar with a repeating event with 
dates on both sides of a time zone shift correctly imported in Mozilla 
Calendar but I would like that, at least, offset to UTC was considered 
but specifying also the VTIMEZONE property to let ICalendar be correctly 
imported in Outlook.

Is this possible?

Please, excuse me for my poor English.

Regards,

Germán
