Well would someone that does work for Microsoft please put the icon back. I
totally rely on it as I receive meeting notices from external companies and
they quite often lose the reminder setting - particularly if they use Lotus.

I don't get the 'clutter' argument - they kept the private, re-occur and
attachment icons, what was the issue with the bell?

Microsoft is aware of the complaints. I don't expect it back in 2007 though.

Not all appointments are recurring, private or have attachments - the icon
is helpful. meetings can (usually) be identified by the subject so that icon
was axed - and reminders are turned of or on by default for all new items,
so they determined that icon could go.

I know you don't work for Microsoft and appreciate that you're just telling
us lower life-forms what you know but their attitude is awful. They have to
put it back. Simple as that.

No, actually they don't have to put it back. If enough users ask for it,
they may consider it for the next version but there is nothing that says
that they have to do anything with their software.

Just a simple observation.
