But isn't that why we have the functionality of running a program in the
first place? I mean...having a shell script to send an email, or a
page, flash some lights, shock the kitten into yelping so that we
remember where we're supposed to be...
OTOH, having an email reminder, IMHO, defeats the purpose of
reminders... wouldn't it be redundant?
Now, on the extreme other hand, if we used a script to send an email
reminder, how would we access the text of the appointment? Is it piped
to STDIN? (Now *that* would be cool! This way we'd know what we're
forgetting when it hits the pager/email/kitten/whatever...
I guess I'm kind of agreeing and disagreeing with you on this... not
really sure...

I am using Evolution 1.0.5 (from Debian "testing") and I would like to have it send me email reminders for simple appointments. The feature list seems to indicate this is possible/supported, but it looks like the code was removed/disabled. Currently, the Reminders tab only show three options: Display and alarm, play a sound, and run an external program. I suppose that I could put some "mail ..." command there but that seems like a lot of effort as I'd have to set the subject, recepient, etc. manually (and then I have to confirm that I want the program to run). Can this be done? Thanks, Michael _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
