Package: kdepim
Version: 4:3.5.9-5
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
When receiving an appoint ment from an MS exchange server, kontact (or kmail) displays the wrong time in my message display box.
In the VCALENDAR entry, the exchange server sends in local time but prefaces
the DTSTART line with a "timezone" spec.
The line looks like:
DTSTART;TZID=Eastern Standard Time:20090121T093000
This displays in kmail a meeting that starts at 14:30:00 ( not 9:30:00 EST)
This leads to confusion.
Thanks,
Jean
