Ok, I think I got you. One other question: I tried fiddling around with
the value for "Translate from character set" in "Bug Workarounds" in the
IrMC plugin (the "other" plugin); I did this:

1. Set it to a given value (tried with UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1).
2. Erased the calendar.ics-msyncid2.db and all appointments in the
phone's calendar.
3. Synchronized once; it worked.
4. Synchronized again; it didn't work.

Do you think this setting could have any impact in my problem? If yes,
is there any other value, other than UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1, that I should
try here?

Regards.
