How do I export calendar events in Mozilla Lightning?

I'm using Thunderbird 3.0.4.

(Sorry for such a basic question, but clicking on "Help contents" takes me to http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/ , and searching the knowledge base for lightning export got zero hits, and searching for export only got one irrelevant hit)

To export selected events from Thunderbird (not whole calendars):

  1. Select the events to export in the calendar view (multi-selection using Ctrl)
  2. Hit Ctrl+C
  3. Create a new text file in a text editor
  4. Ctrl+V there
  5. Save the file with ending .ics

Found it ... it was under "Events and Tasks".

Cool. 12 years later this still works:

  • copy event from thunderbird
  • paste in text-editor
  • save as .ics
  • doubleclick .ics file
