Hmm - I wonder if that's what Lotus Organizer was actually doing? Does it
meet the scenario I proposed, where both lots of appointments would appear to
a search as though they were actually one? I'm thinking of billing issues,
for instance. I'm casting around vaguely - obviously a search on the
appointment title would bring up them all, maybe the issue doesn't arise at
all.
