Re: [Evolution] Possible wishlist item for Calendar/mail interoperability

[Gary Frederick <gary frederick jsoft com>]

That feature is on my todo list.

However, it has been on the list for a LLOONNGG time and I don't know 
when it will be done.



I was thinking along the lines of sending the message I'm reading to a 
little utility that can edit and then enter a event. I cut and paste 
dates and times and locations and the summary and can also annotate the 
message with useful tags.

I was planning on looking at Mozilla as the client. My organization uses 
Netscape as their primary e-mail client. If I can do something for both 
Evolution and Mozilla, so much the better.

I would love to have someone help with integrating into both Mozilla and 
Evolution.
  or find out why that can't be done :-)

If anyone is interested and is not in a big hurry (we are working on 
importing gnome-cal into iCalendar at the moment) send me an e-mail.

NOTE: I am not part of the Evolution team or the Mozilla team. I'm just 
a happy user who wants to help.
