I don't think so.  But what I am also missing is a clear idea on *how*  
this event should be generated and *how* it should be displayed.   
Apparently you do not want the event listed in the agenda, but you say  
"maybe a special font".  If the event is not listed, what else should  
be in a general font?

Maybe try to work out a more detailed proposal?

Cheers

- Carsten
