Just a side note:

In my opinion, this is a *very important issue* for Org-mode.
Personally I know several people who would love to use
Emacs/Org-mode but are forced to use Outlook because of Exchange in
their office.

Whenever I present Org-mode to a variety of people, the question of
Outlook/Exchange support is one of the first being asked.

For now I am in the lucky position of no dependency to Exchange but I
guess this can change in the future.


PS: Please adopt the subject line to changing subject - especially
for important ones like here. Thanks! :-)
