iCalendar outputs do not handle UTC times properly
Describe the issue
Per RFC 5545, a DATE-TIME in an iCalendar file must represent UTC times using a Z suffix (e.g., 2022-08-08T23:01:00Z
). For local times with a time zone reference, the TZID
attribute is to be used (e.g., TZID=America/Los_Angeles:2022-08-08T16:01:00
).
In at least agenda.ics
, meeting time zones are specified using the TZID
attribute regardless of its value. This should instead use the -Z suffix when the meeting times are in UTC.
