I am very surprised that Outlook still doesn't support time zones
dynamically.  The biggest problem occurs when entering flights that cross
time zones. As well, when booking meetigs with people in other time zones, it
becomes very confusing.  This could be solved by having a time zone selector
right next to the time drop down in the "New Appointment" window.  

I know others (thousands) are very interested in this capability.

OL2007 has support for time zone setting on a per-appointment basis

In the new appointment box, there is a button on the ribbon called timezones.
Click that.  It allows you to set the start time in timezone A and the end
time in timezone B.  This solves the problem for me and I think you.  My
problem with the way they implemented this is:

- it can't be turned on "always", you have to click for each appt
- very awkward entry style for chooisng timezones

That feature is available only in Outlook 2007.
