In writing the Email spec, in particular the current proposal for
special Chandler IMAP folders, we've realized we should amend the
Stamping spec to generalize some of the behavior we're expecting for
email.
When users add email to the Chandler Events IMAP folder to add the
email to their Chandler calendar, Chandler will automatically parse
any date/time information in the email upon pulling down the email
from the server into Chandler.
Similarly, if an user receives an email in Chandler via special
Chandler headers or POP mail and decides to Stamp that message to add
it to their calendar, Chandler should also automatically parse any
date/time information in the message.
This behavior should apply to any kind of item that is being added to
the calendar, not just messages, which means Notes and Tasks.
Is this a lot of extra work? Or is it marginally more effort if
bkirsch is already going implement automagic date/time parsing for
stamping email?
