[Kolab-devel] Possible problems in Toltec's Kolab XML handling?

Hi,

<organizer> is for the user that organizes the meeting e.g. the Boss while
the <creator> is the actual person creating the meeting e.g. the PA. If this
is not the case we need to clarify the documentation and fix it.

When range type is none, no end date has been specified in Outlook. Specify
an end date and the range will change.

Base64 encoding is not subject to interpretation rules like quote-pritable.
What you put into base64 is what you get out of base64.
