This remains a mystery to me. Although I am now working to learn a database while building my first real solution in it, I have never programed a "real" program from the ground up. And so, I do not know what is actually involved in man/woman hours, etc. Having said that, I would think that writing a program is about as easy or difficult as it has always been. If you can do something (program in) Unix, then you can pretty much do something else (Create a program from scratch) in Unix. Right? While writing a successor to Emailer is way over my head, isn't it just a matter of taking all the parameters that have been suggested and discussed, and building the code structures? Is the Apple lost Emailer code really that big a deal? For myself I plan to integrate an email solution into my database (Panorama) once Pan releases a TCP/IP interface. 4D already does this. I love using email in general. But, I also find them limiting in that most of the work I do with people comes from accessing their record in my database. Therefore I find a need for either a more robust address book, like Eudora, or, getting the database I am using to integrate full email capabilities. Using AppleScript I can still do both but eventually I would like to cut out the middle ware.
