[icalendar-dev] Folding lines and utf-8

[Diedrich Vorberg]

Hello list,

let me start by saying "Thank You" for the effort you put in  
icalendar and that you made it available as OSS.

I've run into a little problem with line folding. The  
Contentline.__str__() method splits long lines at the 74th  
characters. Yet when using multi byte encodings as utf-8 this may  
split a a single char in two rendering the resulting textfile non- 
complient with the Unicode standard. One calendering application  
complained about this and I had to write a workaround that removes  
the corresponding database field if it happens. This is not a big  
loss in my case, but I thought I'd bring up the issue on the list.

Kind regards
Diedrich
