Outlook generates rich-text descriptions and puts them into VCALENDAR entries like this:
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//E
N">\n<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server ve
rsion 08.00.0681.000">\n<TITLE></TITLE>\n</HEAD>\n<BODY>\n<!-- Converted f
rom text/rtf format -->\n\n<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="de"><FONT FACE="Calibri"
>When: Dienstag\, 5. Januar 2010 10:00-19:00 (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam\, Berli
n\, Bern\, Rom\, Stockholm\, Wien.</FONT></SPAN></P>\n\n<P DIR=LTR><SPAN L
ANG="de"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Where: München</FONT></SPAN></P>\n\
n<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="de"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Note: The GMT offset abov
e does not reflect daylight saving time adjustments.</FONT></SPAN></P>\n\n
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="de"><FONT FACE="Calibri">*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*</FONT>
</SPAN></P>\n\n<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="de"></SPAN></P>\n\n</BODY>\n</HTML>
(notice the explicitly escaped newline characters).
When I click the accept button on such a VCALENDAR file Lightning creates a HTTP PUT request to the Caldav Server containing this:
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//
EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server vers
ion 08.00.0681.000">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from te
xt/rtf format -->
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="de"><FONT FACE="Calibri">When: D
ienstag, 5. Januar 2010 10:00-19:00 (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, R

<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LAN
G="de"><FONT FACE="Calibri">*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=
LTR><SPAN LANG="de"></SPAN></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
which is not a valid VCALENDAR entry anymore as the HTML-code doesn't contain a whitespace character after every linefeed and thus leads to a server error.
I tested this using Sun Java Calendar Server 7 (CalDAV, not WCAP), but I assume that every other CalDAV server will also produce an error when faced with this input.
Reproducible: Always

I can confirm this bug, it breaks Funambol sync:
https://mozilla-plugin.forge.funambol.org/servlets/tracking/remcurreport/true/template/ViewIssue.vm/id/SC201/nbrresults/25
I would consider this to be a critical bug, if you ask me :)

I have the same symptom , using Lightning with a networkcalendar provide by davmail .
When i dump packet on the network (with tcpflow ) i see that :
../..

DTEND:20101103T150000Z

<HEAD>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server vers
ion 08.00.0681.000">
../..
in the original vcard we have many \n in the field X-ALT-DESC , like DESCRIPTION .
But when lightning send the data to a caldav server , the behavior is correct for DESCRIPTION not for X-ALT-DESC .
This is for me critical .
My version :
lightning 1.0b2 with thunderbird 3.1.6 on linux ubuntu
