ok, next try :)

1. If an existing appointment has its own reminder, this reminder gets
   used regardless of any global settings.
2. If an existing appointment has no reminder, it has no reminder and
   does not inherit one from the global settings or somewhere else.
3. If a new appointment is created and the creator adds a reminder,
   that reminder is used
4. If a new appointment is created and the creator does not add a
   reminder, the global setting under Calendar and Tasks -> Reminders
   takes over.

Better?

As I wrote in my first email - I'm really impressed about the
functionality and especially the integration into Exchange Server.
Of course everything can be improved, but this is also, not to say
especially true for Microsoft Outlook 8-|
