The transferred data format of mozilla calendar in week view model is like:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.0//EN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:a0927314-0dae-11d8-aafc-c8f227f89873
SUMMARY:1
LOCATION:2
STATUS:TENTATIVE
CLASS:PRIVATE
X-MOZILLA-RECUR-DEFAULT-INTERVAL:0

DTEND:20031105T033500Z
DTSTAMP:20031103T033413Z
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR


I think the proper format should be:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION
 :2.0
PRODID
 :-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.0//EN
METHOD
 :PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID
 :a0927314-0dae-11d8-aafc-c8f227f89873
SUMMARY

LOCATION

STATUS

CLASS

X-MOZILLA-RECUR-DEFAULT-INTERVAL
 :0
DTSTART
 :20031105T023500Z
DTEND
 :20031105T033500Z
DTSTAMP
 :20031103T033413Z
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

your format  is :field name<CRLF>:field value<CRLF>. but the 
definition in RFC2445 is: field name:field value<CRLF>.maybe it is another
format defined in RFC2445, but I don't see description in my document about RFC2445

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the dragged event can not be accepted by other applications, because they  can
not parse the format properly.

Sorry, I make mistake. the mozilla format is like:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION
 :2.0
PRODID
 :-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.0//EN
METHOD
 :PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID
 :a0927314-0dae-11d8-aafc-c8f227f89873
SUMMARY

DTEND
 :20031105T033500Z
DTSTAMP
 :20031103T033413Z
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

and the proper format should be:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.0//EN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT

I disagree. From rfc2445 (4.1 Content Lines):
   Any sequence of CRLF followed immediately by a single linear white space 
   character is ignored (i.e., removed) when processing the content type.

This unfolding is supposed to be done before anything else, so this is a valid
content line according to the rfc:
BEG
 IN
 :V
 EVENT
So the bug report should be in the other applications' bugzillas ;)

I don't see why we couldn't use a single line when the info fits on it. But we
clearly shouldn't do a hack just on DnD data, so I'm marking this INVALID.
 
Another bug could be opened on 'Should change calendar format to make importing
to other programs easier' or something.

VERIFIED, helping brant with QA since he's been busy recently.
