-  The icalendar package aims at providing an implementation of the
-iCalendar standard, as defined in ``RFC 2445 -- Internet Calendaring and
-Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)''.  It provides a means
-for importing iCalendar (and the earlier vCalendar format) data into
-Emacs diary files and vice versa.
+@vindex diary-outlook-formats
+  You can import diary entries from Outlook-generated appointment
+messages.  While viewing such a message in Rmail or Gnus, do @kbd{M-x
+diary-from-outlook} to import the entry.  You can make this command
+recognize additional appointment message formats by customizing the
+variable @code{diary-outlook-formats}.

+@cindex iCalendar support
+  The icalendar package allows you to transfer data between your Emacs
+diary file and iCalendar files, which are defined in ``RFC
+2445---Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification
+(iCalendar)'' (as well as the earlier vCalendar format).
 
   Importing works for ``ordinary'' (i.e. non-recurring) events, but (at
 present) may not work correctly (if at all) for recurring events.
