Following the Unix approach of do one thing and do it well, I prefer that these be separate tools that integrate well. Just because an invite might show up as a message in my inbox doesn't mean that the mail program should be responsible for maintaining the calendar. Maybe I've drunk too much Apple kool-aid, but I find I like the way iCal, Mail, and Addressbook are three separate programs that seem to talk to each other well. This has the added benefit of I could replace the front end of one of these programs (say calendar) and still use the same backend to hold the calendar. -- "The speed of communications is wondrous to behold.
