In a large orgainization running Exchange, it is plausible.

The current recommend is to include the real meeting date/time as text in
email subject lines and comment fields when submitting
invitations/appointments and posting calendar events.

Here's a link to article with a quote from an tech analyst (exchange admin)
and some other tidbits on the sore issue.

And a bunch of reader comments at end of article (I read cnet news.com for
the comments, not necessarily the articles).
