Hello all, I am currently evaluating the vpim libraries and like them very much. However there''s one thing I can''t get done: How can I set the TZID parameter for DTSTART/END dates so my encoded ICS file looks something like this: BEGIN:VEVENT ...

I start peering through the source code and find (in the Field#to_text method that is being called): # The value as text. Text can have escaped newlines, commas, and escape #
