RE: balsa...

[jason whizzird net]

this reminded me of something. i started using outlook at work (it's slow and
tends to lock up. way to go M$) and i noticed one great feature that gnome
should add if it wants to compete in the office: you can send an e-mail about
an appointment or meeting to people and outlook will add it to your calendar,
make it repeat, etc.
if we could link balsa and gnome calendar like this it'd be a plus.
