Shhh... Don't mention timezones, or calendar hackers might start
jumping out of windows. :) I had that on my to-do list, and then
moved on to this. :)
I'm fairly sure Ximian has people working on timezones, though...

To be clear, I'm far from a mailer expert; I made my proposal to try
to save my merging calendar idea from a problem of inconsistency.
I'll leave it to the mailer people to figure out what users actually
want. :)
Also note that the default I described for the mailer would (or at
least could) still support the "traditional" view of the mailer:
simply use the filter criterion "(from-source? selected-folder)".
