Yeah, if only MS would put it on the changelog for Outlook.app. Even if they didn't mean it, it would make me feel like they were trying.

Before anyone says "use Mail.app", our Exchange server does something truly heinous with timezones and daylight savings, and only Outlook and “Good for Enterprise”* ** *** seem to be able to dis-en-un-re-mangle it, during summertime.

I seriously considered using Mail.app for 6 months, and Outlook the rest of the year, but that's just reminding me what I'm missing :(

Perhaps Apple have worked around that in the current version of Mail.app? [joke]
