You could add them to the bug report; arguably they would point to a way to fix it without tradcpp. But my real concern is described in bug 246943, and so far I don't see a clean solution for that. Does root have a calendar file on your systems? If so, how do you handle the multiple emails? Your input on 246943 would be interesting. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer.
