I'm not really that conversant with the full iCalendar specifications although I have read the relevant parts of the specification [1] and I think I've got things right. However, my experience with Google's calendar has left me less than impressed. There seem to be quite a few idiosyncrasies (I'm trying to be polite here ;-) in what Google is doing and I have a feeling that the bug may be there? Does the 2 hour time shift you find correspond to your time zone relative to UTC? It could be that when google processes the VALARM element, it wipes out the time zone information for the whole entry and treats it as UTC when inserting it. Sorry I can't be of much help. eric Footnotes: [1] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt --Multipart_Thu_Jul_22_00:02:06_2010-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII -- Eric S Fraga GnuPG: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D --Multipart_Thu_Jul_22_00:02:06_2010-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
