[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Upgraded to PPC 2003 Broke MissingSync

[TDefriez at cs.com]

The use of bullets appears to be either a PocketInformant of iCal issue - whilst my HP5555 syncs note containing text formating (bullets etc.) when they are viewed in iCal they are indicated as 'Non text data - do not modify' plus a series of what looks like hex or binary data. I suspect this is causing your sync to hiccup - somehow HP PDA ignores this issue and sync the note as non-text

I would suspect further that it is iCal at fault as it does not support text formating - you can only use the standard consol font and no formating.
