I got a SPAM appointment this week.  After deleting the SPAM it
remains on my calendar.  If you follow the advice to change the
calendar settings to only show events I accept or create, the event
disappears -- but its still in the calendar data.   Change the setting
back and there is the SPAM appointment.

My concern that this behavior might result in SPAM appointments
getting sync'd to Outlook or using gSync or other API tool. Any
thoughts?
