Re: [Evolution] linking Evolution and mozilla's calendars

[Jan Polcher <Home Polcher free fr>]

Hello,

Many thanks for the idea. It prompted me to do more rigorous tests and I 
noted two things :

- The ics file created by mozilla will not be read 

- Taking the BEGIN:VCALENDAR section from Evo will not change a thing

So what is wrong here. Both calendars are claiming to support open 
standards !

I could live with Evol alone if I could find a way to export my calendar 
as HTML pages from it.

        Best regards

                Jan
