Re: gnus-icalendar international character handling

[Kostas Zorbadelos]

Hi,

this fix (removing the localized day) does not seem to fix the
international character display of calendar events and their export to
org files. Also, there is the timezone issue I mentioned in the other
thread.

For the record, saving the calendar MIME part (gnus-mime-save-part) and
then importing it to a diary file with (icalendar-import-file) seems to
work really well (handling international characters and timezone).

Regards,
Kostas
