[Vpim-talk] Any Timezone support coming?

[Robert J. Berger]

Just wondering if there might be someone who got timezone support of  
some kind working for vCalendars in VPIM?

I have an vCalendar input file started off with something like this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:REQUEST
PRODID:Microsoft CDO for Microsoft Exchange
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:(GMT-05.00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-TZID:10
BEGIN:STANDARD
DTSTART:16010101T020000
TZOFFSETFROM:-0400
TZOFFSETTO:-0500
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;WKST=MO;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTH=11;BYDAY=1SU
END:STANDARD
BEGIN:DAYLIGHT
DTSTART:16010101T020000
TZOFFSETFROM:-0500
TZOFFSETTO:-0400
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;WKST=MO;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTH=3;BYDAY=2SU
END:DAYLIGHT
END:VTIMEZONE
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20080107T155404Z
DTSTART;TZID="(GMT-05.00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)":20080107T123000

The event.dstart from the Vpim parsed vCalendar will have its Timezone  
be set to localtime. It ignores the TZID of the DSTART.

Any hints on how to make this work so that ether the event.dstart has  
the right timezone or can be set to the valid UTC?

As far as I can tell, both Vpim and the ruby iCalendar libraries have  
similar problems handling this.

Thanks
Rob
