Re: vCalendar/iCalendar support for Gnus?

[Jaap-Henk Hoepman <hoepman@cs.utwente.nl>]

I really would love this too (not necessarily within gnus though). Problem is
that IMAP appears not to be enough to access the calender and contact items
stored on the Exchange server. You can get the subjects, but not the date and
time of the appointment. Apparantly MAPI is needed to access these other
details. 

Anybody any ideas?
