Description Aaron D Borden 2013-01-05 18:36:07 UTC 
When importing an ics file, the data on the ics is displayed as a preview with the UTC time but does not clarify that this is in fact UTC time. This can be confusing because once the data is imported it is displayed in local time which would be different than what the preview had advertised.

Thanks for a bug report. I can confirm this even on current development version (3.7.4).

for evolution;

It seems it applies only for times in UTC, which is not found by icaltimezone_get_builtin_timezone_from_tzid(), because the other timezones are recognized properly, and the time is set to user's timezone, unless the .ics file contains invalid/unknown timezone for the time. In any way, this fixes it for me for the UTC times.
