Yes, but as I said, I don't see this locally.

...and I still don't see this.

I doubt it. The code that takes care of importing changes into  
Kronolith from ActiveSync is all contained in  
Kronolith_Event::fromASAppointment() (in Kronolith/lib/Event.php). In  
reviewing the code I don't see ANYWHERE that the title can be  
concatenated to the description. Are you running a pristine Git  
checkout, are you sure you don't have any local edits, or maybe a  
corrupt merge or something? Otherwise you are going to have to trace  
the code yourself to find out where this is happening for you.

Same here.

This is very bizarre. Various Microsoft, Exchange, and Outlook forums,  
as well as official Microsoft support channels, all indicate that  
HTML/RTF text is NOT used for items that are synchronized over  
ActiveSync - only with true Exchange connectivity or local IMAP/POP3  
accounts.
