SYMPTOMS
========

When you open a recurring appointment in the Outlook Calendar, you may not get
the following "Open Recurring Item" prompt:

  Appointment subject is a recurring appointment. Do you want to open only this
  occurrence or the series?

- Open this occurrence

- Open the series

Instead, the appointment series is opened.

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. You only get the "Open Recurring Item" prompt when you are in
Day/Week/Month view. All other views only allow you to open the series.
