Again, and this seems to get lost conveniently in this issue, I THINK THE
FEATURE IS A GOOD ONE, but the first time such an appointment should show
up, a dialog box should alert the user, and allow them to configure future
behavior.

Entourage/OE are no different when launched for the first time, and when
they query you if you want them to be your default mailer. IE does the same
for browser. Similarly, any program that sports repetitive behavior, should
query the user about future behavior the first time it comes active.

This is:

- not intrusive
- informative to the user
- provides the needed flexibility for the user.
- avoids endless argumentts over features by throngs
  of self-important semi-experts.

It seems the solution is very easy. The length of this thread, and the width
of those affected should be enough indication that some sort of problem
exists.
