Bruce,
Each subscriber account also has its own time zone, and many groups
have subscribers worldwide. Is the expectation that a single all-day
event will generate [up to] 24 different notices, one for each set of
subscribers in that zone?
I believe it does customize the content of the notice to reflect the member's timezone, but I don't expect that it would also stagger the delivery time.
That is, the event is considered to have a place and time; no matter where the recipient is in the world that doesn't change - only the recipient's time changes.
So, a notice set to go out at the time of the event should go out to everyone at once - but the time of day that is in each recipient's time zone will depend on the recipient's location setting.
One could argue that an "All Day" event should be defined as the day in each timezone - effectively a separate event in each timezone. But I think that way lies madness.
What happens with Google and other sites that attempt to do
calendaring?
Good question. For the most part I only experience Google's calendar from my own time zone, for events in my timezone; so I've never had to wonder about that overly much.
