Description

I use printics as an ics prettyprinter. However the default format used by printics is completely useless for me (for one, it doesn't include the date of the event!).

Changing the format is pretty easy with -f, but I'd love to be able to set a different default in the configuration file.

Research direction

Start by tracing how printics handles the -f format option and how khal reads its configuration file. Add a configuration setting that overrides printics' default format while preserving the command-line override, then verify that the configured format is used and includes the requested event date.
