Does anyone know if its possible to somehow set sharing permissions so
that the only information exposed in my shared calendar is whether my
appointments/meetings are marked as Free/Busy/etc without them being
able to read the contents?

For example, I use my calendar for things like a recurring 'todo' list
which pops up daily, which I currently mark as private and as 'free'
(as opposed to say 'busy') but because its private it won't even let
other users see if I'm free or busy.

I really want other users to see the appointment and that I am free at
that time, but not the contents of my TODO list.

Any ideas? Any help appreciated ..!

You are correct if the calendar is marked private she will not being able to
see the them by accessing your shared calendar. However, if she creates a
View Group Schedule under Action she will be able to see you schedule items.
Granted it is not in the same format as the calendar but will show free/busy
and tentative and the private meetings will show as well but no the details
just the free/busy information.

Also not sure what type of To-Do list you have but if they are task items
you could put those in the Task Folder - not share it and not have it on
your calendar at all. Just depends what works for you.
