Yes, as you have done with this thread. No I get it, you are one of those guys that likes the computer industry to maintain a certain amount of complexity in their products so you can maintain your job security and remind yourself how smart you are each day.
Trust me John, adding the features that I have requested will make Entourage a better and more powerful product. I personally know tons of people that are using Entourage and are comfortable creating their own rules. Heck, my mother can even do it. When it comes to writing AppleScripts on the other hand, it's a big step for most people. I would bet that less that 5% of Mac users have ever even tried to write an AppleScript. I would bet that less than 2% of all Entourage users have ever even written their own AppleScripts. > I can at least > ALMOST see a reason to link rules and schedules.

There is no way??? It is unfortunate that you do not have the creativity to see beyond your own programming capabilities. I am surprised that you are even using a Mac, you sound like a PC guy. John, I know that you are not stupid, so if you are willing to stop the personal attacks and concentrate on contributing with helpful feedback then I will do the same. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
