Subject: iCalendar integration - time zone issue
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:08:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a9hbdlil.fsf@topper.koldfront.dk> (raw)

  Hi.


I am throroughly enjoying the integration of emails with text/calendar
parts and Gnus/org-mode. It is really nice that I don't have to open a
remote desktop to a Windows machine to do calendaring.

Recently a problem has popped up (there is always a catch). For some
reason, appointments are shown / stored 1 hour earlier than they were
supposed to in Gnus/org-mode.

So in Gnus I see:

  Time:       <2013-11-15 Fri 13:30-14:00>

but in Outlook the meeting actually is 14:30-15:00.

When I look at the "raw" VCALENDAR entry, I see this:

  DTSTART;TZID=Romance Standard Time:20131115T143000
  DTEND;TZID=Romance Standard Time:20131115T150000

which makes me guess that somehow the code doesn't know that "Romance
Standard Time" is the same as +0100 (CET), which I am in.

Does this sound like a plausible guess, or does Gnus look at some other
fields (instead/as well)? Any ideas for fixing it?

(I don't know why Microsoft insists on using this weird "Romance
Standard Time", but... well no need to digress more.)


  Best regards,

    Adam
