Question for folks with more Outlook experience than me: (To illustrate said experience, I had to hunt down a disk and install Outlook on my system specifically to test this; I don't use it at all.)
I've got a calendar exported from Sunbird as an .ics. This calendar consists almost entirely of a recurring event (it's a conference call). When trying to import into Outlook, it sets up an appointment only for the initial creation date for the event and does not show it as a recurring. I've tested this in Outlook 2002 (using "open with" since the import function doesn't seem to want to import .ics in any obvious way), and I'm pretty sure the person reporting the problem is using Outlook 2007 (which I'm downloading as I type to use for local testing). Is there some crazy incantation that needs to be performed to get Outlook to recognize this as a recurring, weekly event instead of one event that takes place only in September of last year?
[Edit: Outlook 2007 seems to be behaving correctly, so far as I can tell. Need more details, apparently.]
