I have the timezone set to "GMT: Dublin, Edinburgh...etc", which is correct
for my location in England, and I have daylight saving update automatically
applied. I work with colleagues in mainland Europe, and when they send a
request for time change for an existing, pre-agreed and correctly timed
meeting, the text in the e-mail that gets sent says the time of the meeting
is xx:xx GMT, when it actually means xx:xx BST (which is GMT+1). All the
times themselves are correct, but the text that describes them is wrong,
leading to the confusion.

In Outlook, during British Summer Time (GMT+1), Calendar appointments
still
refer to the scheduled time of a correctly timed meeting or appointment as
"GMT". My PC clock is correct, as is my time zone and daylight savings
setting.

It is the reference to the time made in the meeting request if you
subsequently reply to or request a new time for a meeting. This causes
great
confusion amongst my colleagues and I, situated in different time zones,
when
they request a new time for a meeting, Outlook tells me the new request is
for xx:xx GMT but it actually means BST. I have to ask the requestor what
time they actually meant!

Google reveals I am not alone in this!
