The option specifically states:

"Choose if you want to receive daily agenda email reminders:"

Selecting "On my calendars only" results in people getting events that are definitely not in only their calendars.

They are sent late, often at strange times that the */5 cron does not run at.  (does the script fork?) I only have examples myself of reminders being sent far after they were supposed to. (none that were actually sent *after* the event, although my users complained loudly of it)

The best example I have is an email for a user who had an event whose reminder was set for 20 minutes before the event started at midnight UTC.  The date sent on the email was:

Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:00:06 -0400

Which is on time for the event, but 20 minutes later than he wanted the reminder.  A "bizarre time" example from another event is:

Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:59:25 -0400

It's hard to get examples of this functionality being broken at the moment since email reminders stopped working altogether.  Is there a way (even if I have to modify the code a bit) to get logging enabled only on the alarms script?

Ahh, thanks for that heads up then.
