Hi John,

@09 July 2002, 14:30 -0700 (22:30 UK time)  John Thomas [JT] in
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Steve
Thomas:

ST>> Who did you contact regarding the conduit? Maybe if enough of us
ST>> ask them, they'll give you the info. you need to do it? If anyone
ST>> else is interested, let's get a campaign going.

JT> To me, it makes more sense to allow the replacement of The Bat!
JT> address book with my choice. I use Time & Chaos and would love TB
JT> to use Time & Chaos's AB. Unfortunately, T&C is developing an
JT> e-mail client, but I do not know how good it is. I like TB!

There's something that everyone is missing. The underlying features of
the address book beyond the holding of lists of email addresses. The
raft of %ABnnnpppp macros. The filtering based on presence/lack of
presence of addresses in certain groups. This stuff is immensely
powerful and is entirely to do with the TB close integration with the
address book.

Stuff the street and phone information. Ignore it - I do. TB's address
book is *so* well suited to its real purpose, but *not* to the general
purpose address book that it appears to be on the surface.

JT> It seems to me that if somebody builds a conduit between TB AB and
JT> Palm, then we will still need a time planer, a to do list,
JT> integration with M$ Word, a Pocket PC sync, a billing software,
JT> etc.

What has any of that functionality to do with an email address list?

JT> Does it make sense to skip the conduit, develop a relationship
JT> with T&C and/or others, and add an ability to hook into those
JT> PIMs?

Not to me! Why does an email client and an email address list need all
of that data?
