In that case correctness in this context is evidently rather subjective. Ultimately, the tools are there to serve their masters, and the iCal format is simply a medium for communicating user data between end-points in a standard interoperable fashion. It is up to the users to determine what data actually needs to be communicated via the format. In my case, if I should explicitly request the tool to hide the repetition of events in order to avoid cluttering my display, I see nothing incorrect about the tool doing just that. Likewise, as another hypothetical example, if all my events had LOCATION properties, it would be equally valid and correct to export them to one iCal file for use with korganizer on a full desktop display, and to another iCal file with the LOCATION properties trimmed out to save space on a mobile phone display. > If you consider others tools as broken in this area, No I do not. In any case, I will use the hook which Carsten kindly provided. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
