Google is already sitting on the edge of the bed with Sun, and might not mind a hand -- oh, I don't like where that metaphor is going...

Sure. But it's like my proposal about character formatting earlier -- a simple way forward that solves part of the problem for some of the people who feel it. Since gmail has an api, and OOo is quite easy to script, a macro/addon that sent the current document as either plain text or html through gmail seems perfectly possible. The real problem is calendaring and contact management. If Google offered those things web-based, stuff would get really interesting. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
