The `and' is redundant, but that does not matter.
This entry means: an appointment starting on 16 February 2009 (assuming
you use the European calendar style, otherwise it is broken), repeating
every 0 days.
The 0 is nonsensical - change it to whatever positive integer it should
be.
If you can isolate the iCalendar entry that results in that entry when
processed by icalendar-import-file, you may wish to report it with M-x
report-emacs-bug.

I've had a look at the calendar file exported from Outlook, and in particular
the RRULE line which looks like this:
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=0;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR
So it appears that icalendar-import-file may not be handling the BYDAY part, and
just taking the INTERVAL=0. So, is this a missing feature of
icalendar-import-file, or is it just not possible to translate this into a valid
sexp? Or is it a bug?

Hi, I wonder if anyone has come across this? I've exported by Outlook
calendar into iCalendar format and used icalendar-import-file to import
it into my diary. Now when I try to show certain dates, I get an error:
Bad sexp at line 19 in ~/diary: (and (diary-cyclic 0 16 2 2009))
The line in question is:
&%%(and (diary-cyclic 0 16 2 2009)) 08:30-09:30 Daily review
I've done nothing manually to this, so I'm a bit baffled. I can't find
any detailed enough information anywhere to check the syntax
either. Anyone got any ideas or experience of this?
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt1.1.2600) of 2008-03-26 on RELEASE
thanks
Paul
