    Is this documented or customizable?

      Documented?  Somewhat, mainly through forums.  Customizable?  Not recommended if you value being able to contact Microsoft support.  It's safer and easier to modify your application to factor GMT offset.

        Thanks Mike
        Note to Microsoft: Documented in forums is not really documented.
        As fo handling in the application, DST makes this a little more complicated from a reporting standpoint.
        As a whold, I find the archiving feature rather half baked.
        So far as I can tell it meets the minimum requirement of saving everything, but without a provided retrieval (or even aggregation) mechanism...
        Kind of weak, ya know?

          Agreed - it would probably be more widely used if it had search and retrieval capability out of the box.  I believe the reasoning behind this was that only a subset of the marketplace requires archiving and compliance so they left it to partners to fill in the gaps.

          Facetime is a great choice for a full featured archiving/compliance/security solution.  If you have more basic needs and just want the ability to so web-based search and retrieval from the archive database my company has a product called SmartSearch that might fit your requirements:  http://www.evangelyze.net/products.asp#EC_SmartSearch
