M-x diary :) Seriously, all the Unix PIMs I've seen are Outlook clones, written with drool-proof electrons, all. They're good for people trying to duplicate their Windows installations on top of Unix, but they don't have the flexibility Unix fans expect. In particular, most lock you into a particular mail client. (If you don't mind CORBA and GNOME, I think Evolution is built on an abstract framework, but I don't know of anything built on that framework other than Evolution itself.) Anyone have a counterexample to the above rant? :) Lucas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
