Since iCal cannot store the status of alarm > notification (to my knowledge after reading the RFC, that's why > Mozilla seem to have added an extension for this) I don't see any > other mean to get rid of past notifications. > Either way, another subscription URL or better a query string (<ics > url>?no_expired_alarms=1) could make it configurable by the > subscriber for each client.
