This is not a core "Office Suite" compontent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_suite I think you would have a hard job getting the developers interested in such a fringe add-on. They are only interested in features that are needed by a great number of people, as each added feature increases the size of the download required. You could pool resources with like minded people and make Lilypond (as it is GPL) or another similar program ODF compatible or if your requirement is great enough pay a developer for a third party OO.o plugin. > Please also make a UNIVERSAL TEXT EDITOR program as an OpenOffice > suite component.

Many programmers work on OO.o and i would think that if they had thought this a good idea it would have materialized before now. The same comments as above also apply. These comments do not prevent you making a "Request For Enhancement" (RFE) for your requirements. Though i doubt they would receive enough votes for action to take place.

Although an email program is not traditionally a core Office Suite application, enough groundswell requests have occurred for this to produce action. Sun and OO.o programmers have got involved in the Thunderbird / Lightning progects and are working on tighter integration between OpenOffice.org and Thunderbird. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/calendar/2006/10/sun_microsystems_announces_int.html shrunk here http://tinyurl.com/36pwbc Also http://www.openoffice.org/editorial/mozilla_lightning_and_OOo.html shrunk as http://tinyurl.com/2pqjqn There is a RFE for this already that you can vote for on the website. If you wish, you could, as a programmer get involved at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and try to bring about the changes you seek from the inside.
