[Evolution] Timezones and pilot sync

[Richard Zach <rzach ucalgary ca>]

So I just added some intercontinental flights into my calendar (with
timezones set), and then synced with my Visor.  As I expected, the
flights show up on the Palm with the times local to MST.  But really,
since the Palm Datebook doesn't have timezone support, they should get
stored on the Palm as floating appointments in local time, should they
not?  For instance, if my flight leaves Tokyo at 7pm, I want my Palm
appointment to say 7pm, not 3am.  When I'll be in Tokyo and want to
check when my flight is, I don't want to have to convert the times back
and forth.  I could, of course, just not add the timezone info, but that
would be (a) not elegant, (b) wouldn't show the length of the flight,
and (c) can't deal with flights that arrive "before" they leave (eg, dep
Narita 7pm, arrive SFO 11:05am the same day).

JPR, what's the thinking on how to handle "timezoned" appointments in
Evo vis-avis timezoneless appointments in the Palm Datebook?  And can I
force Evolution to treat a given appointment as timezoneless (ie, it
won't chnage the time on me when I change the system timezone)?
