           Summary: Start/End times parsed wrong in VCalender files
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: molkentin kde org
        ReportedBy: jason keirstead org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have had this issude ever since KDE 3.4, but have never reported it because I \
assumed someday it would be fixed (I can't believe I am the only one experiencing \
it), but it has gotten icnreasingly annoying.

KMail / KOrganizer do not properly parse the timezone information in attached \
VCalendar files coming from Outlook/Exchange. As a result, any appointment where I \
click on "Accept" in KMail is off by my timezone's difference from GMT (4 hours).

I will attach a an example VCal file with the problem (incriminating fields have been \
removed!). In this file:

DTSTART;TZID="(GMT-04.00) Atlantic Time (Canada)":20060131T100000
DTEND;TZID="(GMT-04.00) Atlantic Time (Canada)":20060131T110000

As you can see, the timezone is specified in the field so those times are already \
local to my time zone. But when KMail parses it, it seems to think it is GMT, because \
it sets the times as being 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM instead of 10:AM to 11:AM.
