*they* wanted exchange? they lose. you let them do it? you lose. you send data with it - you agree. you generate further problems. your problem. you solve it. why do you see "mutt has to solve this" in this? anywhere? no? exactly! > OTOH, this (Pointy haired guys saying ?Exchange!!?) > is the reason to hope somebody does make > mutt do also outlook calendar functions. why does *mutt* have to solve *your* problem? if Exchange gives you problem then fix *Exchange*! I just cannot stand this attitude of people who cannot admit their defeat with their own managers and who think that they cannot change any of the software they are working with. even worse - these people apparently think that free software has to be adapted to broken software it's the only thing they might have an influence in. well - forget it! if you cannot make changes to your software at work then at least write your own software to support it! mutt is a mailer - not a calendar. end of story. it's time to stand up against those pointy haired managers who think exchange is the solution for everything and against the "they made me do it" whiners. (nothing personal - really!) [incidentally - where did www.boycott-microsoft.com go?] that said, I don't mind utilities which can take data from email message and feed them to calendar utilities. no problem. "pipe-message" is your friend. enojy! :-) Sven
