User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

ICS file fails to generate calendar entry, both when clicking "Add to Calendar" button, and after saving the .ics file, then using Calendar > Import. Below follows two examples of .ics files, sent from different Outlook users: "Add to Calendar" does not work using the first file, but DOES work using the second file. This happens consistently with .ics files from these two Outlook users.

Example of .ics file for which this FAILS:

This ought to be fixed for Lightning 0.5 [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.5rc1/]. I see no problems importing your first sample in Sunbird 0.5.

If the issue still exists using Lightning 0.5 or newer please reopen the bug.
