I would like to be able to export my org-agenda to Microsoft outlook. Attempts to do this via ical files failed because outlook can't seem to read those properly. I tried using the export for ical discussed at http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg00039.html and also tried putting in a line which just said METHOD: as suggested in that thread but this didn't work. Further research suggested that outlook can read a simple csv file format to import. This led me to think that the org-batch-agenda-csv command could be easily used to produce the csv needed for outlook to import. Unfortunately, this doesn't work because when I do something like emacs -batch -eval "(org-batch-agenda-csv \"a\")" on cygwin I get results like journal,quick morning stuff,scheduled,,plan:daily,2010-3-22,700,Scheduled:,,1099,2010-3-22 where the start time (700) is shown but the end time is not. My questions are: 1. Is there a way to get the start/end times to show up better? 2. Is there a better way to export to outlook? Thanks, -Emin
