Hi,
I'm following this thread since several days and I completely lost track
of how this option ("email submission to collections") is supposed to
solve the initial problem laid out by Sheila, i.e. "bridging the gap
between the desktop and existing email clients". So I went back through
the threads and the only scenarios I found were about sending email to
Cosmo from a non-Chandler/non-Scooby client (that was Katie's message
from 7/13). Actually, that the only way this option can help to, indeed,
"bridge the gap".
However, in the course of this thread, it seems that we are now assuming
that some UI is required in the email client (to handle the complexity
of building the [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses and forwarding messages in the
appropriate way) which, I think, kills the idea completely. At times, it
even seems like we assume that Chandler or Scooby are sending those
emails... Or did I misunderstood?
In any case, since the emails must be sent by some 3rd party client to
have any value in "bridging the gap", I think we need to:
1- keep the address/subject scheme very simple so that users can do it
themselves (i.e. forward to their calendar address and doctor the
subject line by hand)
or
2- develop extensions for a chosen subset of clients to make this
"forward to cosmo" option workable
Which of these 2 options are we going after now with the current proposal?
Cheers,
- Philippe
