Re: Mozilla Calendar support in MultiSync!?!

About the wombat: I do have Evo installed, so maybe that was why I saw 
some sporadic sucesses.

About the badmouthing: I'm really, really sorry! I meant it as a joke to 
blow off some steam after a hard and full day of futile Evo tweaking, 
but now that I read it I realize that it came out much harsher than I 
intended. Sorry about that everybody! I won't be so rude again!

About developing:
I still think that Mozilla Calendar / iCal support would be a great idea 
for everybody involved. I don't know if I'd be of any use to you guys, 
but do tell me if you need a hand in implementing this.

Best wishes!
