    In Notes 8.5.1: Calendar Alarms pop up just the dialogs-- modeless

    Hi Folks,
    I know that many of you have complained that when your calendar alarm goes off, Notes steals focus from where you are, pops up the dialog and  switches focus to the entire  Notes client.  As of Notes 8.5.1, we now pup up only the alarm dialog, and it's modeless so it does not stop you from working.  You can see my Alarm, which popped up over Tweet Deck.
    Step by step... we're trying to make each release better for you.
