[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be great.

I think we've fixed the major problems with iTIP & Outlook in Beta 4 so
now is the time for people to test it out again and report problems.

For simple events (no recurrence) Outlook sends the start and end time
in UTC, with no timezone information at all.

So I'm not sure if we can fix the problem in the event editor. I think
we have to show the time in UTC there.

The 'Summary' component was recently fixed - it should now convert times
to your current timezone.

It only started to work recently so it hasn't been tested much yet.

Thanks for the report. I'd really like to see it working well with
Outlook before 1.0.
