interesting ... I would assume that both will try to retrieve email,
calendar, etc ... I suppose then there is a way to specify which
component should be responsible for what part of the message store?

do you believe that this distinction (BCC vs TO or CC) is sufficient
to cause appointments items to be placed onto the calendar
automatically? Or, is yet something else going on (something outside
of the MAPI spec)? How does the resource get included in the "place"
field, or how do other invitees know that the resource has been
included, if the resource is BCC'd?

I will invite a resource but include it as a BCC -- just to see if
this alone will trigger the calendar update.
