That's great. I think this is a great example of why we should list
out the apps individually. It would be unfortunate if users didn't
subscribe simply out of a lack of awareness.
Priscilla's mock-up of the Subscribe / Add pull-down would allow us
to do this without cluttering up the UI.
Thx for the info Jared,

Based on a thread that has been going about subscriptions to iCal...
It's possible that people aren't widely aware, so to mention in
passing: Outlook supports the webcal protocol and can subscribe to
a webcal calendar published anywhere. So Outlook users are not
required to download an ICS file to interop (Outlook Express I'm
not sure). ICS download in Cosmo is of course a handy feature
that's good to include regardless.
I haven't tested Outlook webcal interop with Cosmo; your mileage
may vary. Greatly. Documents suggest that Outlook 2007 will
include a webcal:// URL handler so that clicking on a URL of that
form in a browser will create an Outlook popup confirming the
subscription in Outlook.
