Subject: bug#29116: 24.5; Parsing dates from VCAL
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2017 09:57:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1smv459hy3.fsf@voll.uninett.no> (raw)
I received an email containing a VCAL attachment which Gnus is unable to
render, the error in the minibuffer says:
Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil
The VCAL-attachment contains this:
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171208
The spec for DTSTART states that the value type for DTSTART can be
either DATE-TIME or DATE, so this seems like a valid format, so I am
inclined to think that this is a bug in emacs.
Here is the backtrace (parameters removed
timezone-make-arpa-date(2000 0 0 "01:00:00" (3600 "CET"))
timezone-make-date-arpa-standard("20171208" nil nil)
gnus-icalendar-event--decode-datefield(...)
gnus-icalendar-event-from-ical(...)
gnus-icalendar-event-from-buffer(...)
gnus-icalendar-event-from-handle(...)
gnus-icalendar-mm-inline(...)
mm-display-inline(...)
mm-display-part(...)
gnus-mime-display-alternative(...)
gnus-mime-display-part(..)
gnus-display-mime()
gnus-article-prepare-display()
gnus-article-prepare(94599 nil)
gnus-summary-display-article(94599)
gnus-summary-next-article(nil)
Looking at the backtrace it seems that the problem is related to parsing
the date string: "20171208".
