.ics event description for outlook shows html and more
Hey team, we are very happy about the functionality and looks of your calendar, thanks a lot.

We found another bug though and like to get him fixed (businessanalysisexperts.com):

If I click on the ical icon on my footer area/today and happening soon in an iframe, it downloads the ics file nice and dandy, but if I open one of the occurances in my outlook the event description is shown with the whole html code.

Thank you very much in advance

Re: .ics event description for outlook shows html and more
Outlook doesn't support HTML in event descriptions, which is unfortunate. However, if we strip out the HTML, clients that *do* support HTML there will suffer.

We are aware of the issue but havent been able to come up with a satisfactory solution for all potential ics clients.
