Fully integrated means that there is an icon in the toolbar of Writer
that opens a set of email functions, a contact list, a
calandar/appointment book, etc. You write your emails and email replys
from whithin Writer and much more. That's what integrated means!
There are features to integrate the document to whatever email client
you use, just go to File > Export > Email document as ODF/DOC/PDF as
an attachment. That sounds fully integrated to me.
I don't think anyone here wan'ts to see email composing on writer
starting because most people are avoiding HTML emails as a security
risk. Also you you can import your addressbook as a database in OOo's
mail merge lets you send some emails.
If by fully integrated you also mean having an icon on interface to
launch another application then you can just do that youserlf 1
couple lines of code:
Sub LaunchEmail
Shell("file:///C|/Program Files/Mozilla
Thunderbird/thunderbird.exe",2)
End Sub
Assign that to an icon in the toolbar by going tinto Tools >
Personalize > Toolbar > Add Button Then assign your macro to the new
button and you are there, fully integration.
Most end users don't have the skill level to do any of this. That is
why FOSS will never make major inroads against proprietary software as
long as many people in the FOSS community keep saying things like, "If
you want xxx feature, code it yourself".
Well the users is the one that make the application, so the users should
be the one to add the features. So far FOSS has run faster than any
proprietary system including microsoft.
So you mean that being able to code it yourself, is a bad thing as opposed
to companies that wont even give you that chance. Explain me how that
works. When was the last time that u want a feature and the company
actually put a developer to work for the feature you especifically wanted?
