Bug Description
I received two calendar .ics files from two different people now, both times the calendar event has failed to import correctly into the calendar.
Example ICS file:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:
DTEND:20150226T
SUMMARY:Service Appt
LOCATION:**********
DESCRIPTION:Service Appointment for ******
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
This incorrectly imports into my calendar as 1:00 to 1:30, whereas it should be 8:00 to 8:30 since I am in a "GMT - 5" time zone. The trailing "Z" at the end of the DTSTART and DTEND seems to be the issue here, it appears the import process is not picking up the reference to GMT / Zulu time.
