It is currently possible to parse this content using `icalendar-import-file', which transforms the contents of an ical file into diary entries, which could themselves be included into the org-agenda. I guess a real solution would need not only to parse the ical file, but then to find the related headers inside of the users org files (probably by searching the contents of org-agenda-files for headers with the same ID) and then to update the header's contents with information from the ical information to update the headers. While updating general comments may be difficult to implement at least updating properties of the entry like (location, time, etc...) should be fairly easy to implement as icalendar.el can handle all of the ical parsing. Would this be related to generating headers with org-remember? (I've never used org-remember so I'm not sure how it works) Cheers -- Eric > >> >> >> Thanks and Happy Holidays, > > Same to you! > > - Carsten > > [1] http://orgmode.org/manual/iCalendar-export.html#iCalendar-export > > [2] http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#iCal-import-ics-files-new > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
