However, I will still archive. FileMaker (the database engine behind eMessage Archiver, and also the archiving scripts that originated with Emailer by this same Dan Crevier) has search abilities that are still lacking in Entourage, such as the ability to combine AND and OR and NOT type searches--e.g. (From is Jones OR From is Smith) AND Sent Date is less than 9/1/01 AND NOT Subject contains digest. Maybe there is a way to do that specific example in Entourage, but I know I've run into the limitation of using either All criteria Any criteria.

FW: Entourage problems
I pass along this message for the interest of the Microsoft team. Jan had written to me off list for help. I sent him info about the layout of the MUD folder, what files were what, and so on. He had gone back and forth between OE and Entourage and was getting Error 3 messages when he tried to open Erage. Had tried Entourage rebuilds to no avail. Apparently, using OE to rebuild the Entourage file worked. ??? Is it possible that, somehow, he confused the two databases, and got a database for Entourage that was actually an OE database? Otherwise, I'm mystified as to how this could have worked for him. Any comments? I'm curious, but obviously there is no dire need here. -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- Forwarded Message From: Jan Donnithorne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 09:19:03 -0500 To: Allen WATSON [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Entourage problems Good morning to you Allen!!

Attempting to rebuild the database using the internal Microsoft rebuild functions (accessed by holding down the Option key when launching) didn't succeed , but I was able to recover everything by round-tripping the corrupt database through Microsoft Outlook Express. Here how: 1. Copy the suspected corrupt Database and Messages files from the Microsoft Entourage data folder (typically Documents: Microsoft User Data: Office 2001 Identities: Main Identity folder) into the Microsoft Outlook Express data folder (typically Documents: Microsoft User Data: Identity), replacing the existing Database and Messages files. 2. Now, launch Outlook Express while holding down the Option key to trigger a database rebuild. This is important because you want Outlook to merge the data from the Entourage database files into the Outlook Express database files. Depending on the size of the files, this can take a bit of time to complete. After the database is rebuilt, Outlook Express will popup an error message and immediately quit. Don't panic, this is normal. 3. Next, move the Main Identity folder (the one which you suspect is corrupt) from the Microsoft User Data: Office 2001 Identities folder onto the Desktop and re-launch Entourage. Go through the steps to create a dummy e-mail account, but in step 4 of the Setup Assistant choose Import information from my e-mail program, and then Outlook Express in step 5. This will import the now clean data from Microsoft Outlook Express and merge it into a Microsoft Entourage database. This can take an exceedingly long time depending on the size of the Database and Messages files, but will result in clean, corruption free Entourage database files. 4. The final step is to quit Entourage and then copy the Location Settings, Mailing Lists, Preferences, Rules and Signatures files from the original, corrupted identity folder into the new, uncorrupted Documents: Microsoft User Data: Office 2001 Identities: Main Identity folder. Now launch Entourage for the last time and verify that the clients account information is properly entered and that the e-mail and address books appear to be intact. Note: We have not tried this out to confirm that it works. In any case, it seems a bit odd that the Outlook Express rebuild would work where the Entourage one did not. But if you are desperate, this is worth a shot. Just make sure you have back-up copies of your files. Update: Caleb replies: It's not that the Outlook Express rebuild is any

Re: Address book
On or near 10/30/01 4:31 PM, Robert B. Tapp at [EMAIL PROTECTED] observed: One frustration of Entourage 2001 is the embedding of the address book in the Database. This makes it difficult to transfer updated files from laptop to desk or vice versa. The File Synchronization feature of OS 9x doesn¹t work very well on large files, and a Microsoft tech told me that they do not support synchronization. Will Entourage 2002 make this any easier? Copying the database for Entourage is not all that difficult. It is a huge file, true. However, I find that backing it up on my iBook takes less than one minute; not a serious problem. The same is true for copying the needed data from my iBook to my iMac or vice versa. Although I write AppleScripts frequently, I've never felt this action (copying between machines) was complex enough to merit a script; I just drag and drop the entire Microsoft User Data folder. That is really more than is necessary. If all I want is the Entourage data, copying the folder for my identity is sufficient. This method of syncing two machines forces you to make one machine primary, where all changes are made; the other machine just gets copies of the database periodically. I agree that some means of synchronizing two files, both of which have had contacts added and deleted, is highly desirable. I do believe, however, that Microsoft is looking into better sync/backup/archiving features for the future. AFAIK we won't seen any such improvements in Entourage for X; the primary goal there was to port Entourage 2001 to OS X. The fact that Microsoft did this in just one year after the release of Entourage 2001 earns them high praise in my book. That they also added some new features and improvements earns them open admiration! -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/
Re: Address book

Use Export Contacts... in File menu to create a tab-delimited text file, then import it into FMP. Just a little further advice if you do this. The Export Contacts command creates a tab-delimited text file. In FileMaker, just use the Open command in the file menu, and from the popup, select tab-delimited text file. Then, open the file of exported contacts. This will read in the file and automatically create a database for you with all the required fields defined! The first record, you will find, will contain the names given by Entourage to the fields; the fields created by FMP will be named f1, f2 and so on, up to f70. You will then need to go into Define Fields and copy the name from Record 1 into the field name, and click the Save button, to change the names of all the fields. FileMaker will have created all the fields as Text fields; you will probably want to change some to Number, and some to Date. Text works for most of them however.

John was among the beta testers for Entourage, to our good fortune. It also works with FMP 3, 4, 5.0 and 5.5! So, if you are running FMP in Classic and Entourage under OS X, that will work. In case anyone missed it, John now has available a copy of eMessage Archiver that INCLUDES FILEMAKER PRO as a runtime module. That is, you can use his FMP archive database, but you cannot make any changes or create other FMP databases. YOU NO LONGER NEED TO OWN FILEMAKER TO USE EMESSAGE ARCHIVER.

If I did not get to check my mail because I was in a meeting, this report--really just a message in the main InBox--would be continuously updated. Once I opened it to learned what had happened with all my mail, it would start creating a new edition of the report. This way, there was always a single place I could go to check what happened to all my mail. I have not been able to find a similar feature in Erage, and so, I have to check each folder for new messages. I am probably missing something pretty simple here. You are basically correct. There is no Auto File Log. Custom Views help, but Received Since Launch, for instance, gets replaced each time you launch; you can't go back and look at the last couple if you didn't finish with your messages last time you closed Entourage. I wrote a script called Next Folder which, in essence, locates every folder with unread mail and opens the next one in your list. It remembers where you are and moves to the next folder with unread mail each time you run it; I assigned a key to it so I could just type control-N and get to the next folder.

Re: Converting Palm tasks
Difficult, because Palm Desktop is one of the worst scripting implementations around. I would not try it, and I've written dozens of scripts for Entourage, Emailer, and Outlook Express. There might be some way you could map the completed date to a custom field in Entourage, and then use an Entourage script (fairly simple) to copy the date to the due date field after you import it. On or near 10/27/01 10:02 PM, Daniel Brogan at [EMAIL PROTECTED] observed: One important difference between tasks in Palm Desktop and Entourage is that Palm records a date for when a task is due as well as when it was actually completed. Entourage only records the task's due date. For me, knowing when a task was actually completed is more useful. For new tasks in Entourage I work around this by using a nightly script that updates the due date for all current uncompleted tasks to today. So when I mark a task completed, its due date is the completion date. I've got a lot of old tasks I'd like to import from Palm Desktop. Before importing, I'd like to run a script that will go through all the Palm tasks and change each task's due date to its completed date. Then when I import to Entourage, all will be well. I'm not much of an AppleScripter. Can this be done? Can anyone help me get started?

Re: Make new event from this message script; opens wrong message
Title: Re: Make new event from this message script; opens wrong message
On or near 10/14/01 11:24 PM, Timothy Bates at [EMAIL PROTECTED] observed:
Hi there,
If I select a message in a view, then run the make event from this message
mail script, a new event is created, but with a different e-mail for its
contents (always the same e-mail (an outgoing mail in my drafts box), no
matter which message I select).
Since that is a script supplied by Microsoft, this is a strange problem. Here is the script as I have it; is yours the same?
tell application Microsoft Entourage
-- get the currently selected message or messages
set selectedMessages to current messages
-- if there are no messages selected, warn the user and then quit
if selectedMessages is {} then
display dialog Please select a message first and then run this script. with icon 1
return
end if
repeat with theMessage in selectedMessages
-- get the information from the message, and store it in variables
set theName to subject of theMessage
set theCategory to category of theMessage
set theContent to content of theMessage
-- create a new note with the information from the message
set newEvent to make new event with properties {subject:theName, category:theCategory, content:theContent}
-- create a link between the message and the new note
link theMessage to newEvent
-- if there was only one message selected, then open that new note
if (count of selectedMessages) = 1 then open newEvent
end repeat
end tell
As you can see, it uses current messages to get the list of selected messages. I dont know of any way that could end up pointing to some unsent message in your Drafts folder. If your script is identical to the above, you might try running a test script in Script Editor. Open the Result window (cmd-L). Then, in a new script window, just type:
tell application Microsoft Entourage
-- get the currently selected message or messages
set selectedMessages to current messages
set theMsg to item 1 of selectedMessages
set theSub to subjecct of theMsg
end tell
In Entourage, select the message you want to make a task for. Then, in SE, run the script. See what the results are in the Result window. Should be the subject of that one message. If not, you have a very peculiar problemperhaps database corruption.

[ANN] New script, List script shortcuts
Title: [ANN] New script, List script shortcuts
I've written a script that I have needed for myself for ages. I'll include it below for those who don't want to bother downloading, but I will post it to AppleScript central, and to my iDisk (see the URL in the sig below) for later access.
This script does a very useful thing for anyone using a lot of scripts: It generates a sorted list of all the keyboard shortcuts that you have assigned to scripts in your Entourage script menu (including subfolders to one level).
I have often had to search through my script menu trying to find out why the shortcut I just assigned does not work, because it has been duplicated on another script somewhere in the mess of scripts I have. Now, my script will generate a list, sorted by the primary key. That is, if you have Control-A and Control-B assigned as shortcuts, it will sort the A command before the B one, so you can easily detect duplications.
If you need a list sorted by the script/command name, you'll need to copy it to some other program to sort the list. (Maybe v2 of the script will allow choice of sort sequence, but that's a bit tricky.)
The list will look something like this:
A+Opt+Ctl1. Display In Box
B+Ctl+CmdOpen Unread Messages
B+Opt+Ctl2. Display Out Box
C+Opt+CmdCopy Source to clipboard
Notice that if you are displaying in a proportional font the columns dont line up; if you display with a monospace font (like Courier), they will.
Here is the script. Copy and paste into Script Editor, compile, and store it (using name of your choice, I call it List Keyboard Shortcuts) into your Entourage Script Menu Items folder.
(* Comments for the comment block at the top:
List Keyboard Shortcuts - Allen Watson, October, 2001
Scans the current Entourage Script Menu Items folder, and all its subfolders, and builds a list of all scripts with Keyboard shortcuts defined (with a suffix beginning with backslash); decodes the shortcuts and builds a list of shortcut keys for the scripts. The list is placed into a new draft message window.

Re: OS 10.1
Paul, that is indeed good news. How did Eric do that? (That's a rhetorical question, asked more in amazement than real curiousity.) Let me chime in to say that I have rewritten several of my scripts that used scripting additions to work without them. It was relatively easy, for instance, to replace any sort or replace commands with native code, where before I (or the original authors) had used scripting additions for simplicity. However, I have not yet posted most of those altered scripts anywhere (one or two exceptions have been sent to AppleScript Central), and probably will not until about the time Entourage for X becomes available. If anyone using OS 10.1 is particularly missing some script of mine that worked under 9.x but is now broken under Classic, let me know. A related subject: I made the mistake, when first setting up X with Classic, of trying to install many of my scripting additions for the 9.2 Classic system. I found that some of them (not sure which) were causing the 9.2 Classic system to hang on startup. I ended up removing all but the Apple-supplied additions. Did you ever discover any additions that would work in a Classic environment?

I¹ve been trying out the Word X Test Drive, If Entourage X is anything like this it¹s going to be Great! I can¹t wait. My biggest gripe right now is not being able to run my Apple Scripts while using Entourage 2001 in Classic. Unless you are using Entourage SE (which has no applescript), you should be able to run most of your scripts, even the ones that use scripting additions, as long as the scripting addition is used within a classic tell block, such as 'tell application Microsoft Entourage'. Unfortunately I am fairly meticulous about calling them outside tell blocks where possible to avoid possible conflicts. That may be your problem. There were a number of things which didn't work in OS 10.0.x, especially any scripts calling the Finder. Most of Finder scripting, including 'process (for running applications) has been fixed in OS 10.1, so it would be worth trying again now. Here's the story with scripting additions (about 75% of my scripts use Akua Sweets or Jon's Commands): they have not yet been carbonized for OS X. So even when Entourage X exists, those scripts won't work. In fact, many of the script that work with Entourage 2001 in Classic (the ones that call scripting additions within the Entourage tell block) now won't work in Entourage X. Some of them can be re-written more arduously without the additions, and I will do so where possible. Some absolutely depend on the additions and can't be made to work otherwise. Now for the very good news: Eric Grant has just announced yesterday that he has released an addition for scripting addition developers that will allow them to release versions which will work in all OS's: pre-PPC, regular PPC, and OS X. (i.e. OS 7,8,9,10). So it won't be too long, I hope, before all the scripting additions we've been depending on will work in OS 10.1 as well. I may hold up on any particularly arduous re-writes until this happens. Then all the scripts will work again. -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson A Mac family since 1984 http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/ Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/

Well let me rephrase. I miss being able to run SMTP Location I have a
PowerBook, about 15 email accounts and 3 different locations

Also I use Transfer to Archive v 7.0 with FileMaker 5.5 for OS X I can
transfer from FileMaker OS X to Entourage in Classic fine, but
when I try to transfer from Entourage to FileMaker the script says I must
have a database running which I do.
Uh oh! I guess Transfer to Archive falls into my court. Dunno the answer, but I can give it a try. That's one of the scripts I normalized to remove scripting addition calls, so that's not the problem. Since the error message is spurious, it's probably some other error that's triggering the error trap. I'll look at it.
The script says:
if the name of field 1 of layout 0 is not Subject then
display dialog You must open the email database before running this script buttons {Okay}
So, I'd guess that either there has been some change to the database, or the email database isn't in the front window, or else FMP 5.5 counts fields differently.
If you want to try it, you could just disable this check, and then really make sure you have the mail database layout open before running the script.
To disable the check, change this:
-- make sure filemaker is running and the database is open
try
tell application FileMaker Pro
if the name of field 1 of layout 0 is not Subject then
display dialog You must open the email database before running this script buttons {Okay}
set everythingOkay to false

display dialog You must open the email database before running this script buttons {Okay}

Re: File Reply in Same Folder
I think you'll need to talk with Paul about getting his script to work. And I don't think any single script will suffice to do both things you ask, since replies to your messages are incoming messages, and your replies to the messages of others are outgoing messages. So, for the latter part, see Paul (I've tried it and had it working, but when I switched to OS X I went back to other methods of handling my replies, so I've no recent experience with it.) As for getting incoming replies to your messages filed with the messages they are replying to...would it be enough to have a script you could invoke either on each message after it has been received, or selecting messages in a folder and having it find every message that is a reply to you, and move those messages to be with the ones being replied to? Basically it would work for one or more selected messages, and would pick out those that are replies, ignore any that are not. I think I can do that. I'm not sure it can be done as an incoming rule, however. I think the link between messages is formed during the incoming processing, and that might be happening after a script would be run. That is, I'm not sure a script run by a rule would be able to detect whether or not the message is a reply. I'd have to experiment to see what order things happen in.

That still awaits the release of crucial syncing info from Palm to Microsoft. The recently announced Office for X will not include Palm syncing, not for any lack of effort on the part of the MS Mac Business Unit, but for procrastination on the part of Palm.

I know that there are some services (like http://wesync.com/) are available for PC, but I have found nothing of the sort for we Mac users... I can't think of any way to do that within Entourage. It backs up everything (except mail), so I don't see any way to omit one another's calendar events, for instance. The problem is that you want to share some things but not others. What you need is some way to have both separate and shared identities. The only way I can think of would be to make use of the Palm Desktop software for your calendar events, each with different identities, and to keep separate Palm Desktop databases for hot syncing. Within Entourage you would store addresses and memos, and share the identity. You could turn off calendar syncing in the Entourage conduit to avoid doing extra copying. I think the best way might be simply to beam information to one another that you want to share. My partner, Peggy, and I both have Handspring Visors. We beam addresses and memos to one another frequently. There's no question of our sharing Entourage because she is a Windows user. Since you can beam an entire category from the Address Book, you can go through, picking contacts you want to share, and assign them to a share category; then select and beam that whole group. When you're done, if you actually categorize your contacts, you would need to reassign proper categories to all those contacts. But once you've done this with contacts and memos, you'd only have to do it when you added new ones, which would be relatively easy. -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson A Mac family since 1984 http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/ Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/

Re: Y2K Bug in Entourage?
The odds are very good there is nothing wrong with either your machine or Entourage, but rather with the date and time on the machine of the person who sent you the mail. Certain things, such as zapping the PRAM, or battery troubles on a portable, can cause the system date on a Mac to get reset to zero...which is interpreted as January 1, 1904. Ask your friend to check his or her Date and Time control panel; I'll bet the date is wrong. On or near 9/8/01 4:20 PM, hsel at [EMAIL PROTECTED] observed: I just got an email dated 01/01/04 and instead of being at the top of the list sorted by sent date, it was at the bottom. I checked the sort order to make sure I was seeing this but it was seeing the date as 1904, not 2004 and I just thought I¹d let the Microsoft team know since I know they read this list. I checked the date in my date and time control panel as well to make sure it was nothing obvious on my end. If this is not a variant of the Y2K bug, let me know what preference I need to set. I would really appreciate that. I can forward the email if anyone would like to see if this is affecting them as well.

Re: Moving to new computer
I would pretty much echo what Paul said. I usually copy some of the preferences--including my prefs and favorites for Internet Explorer, because I customize the toolbar quite a bit. Make sure you copy your Normal Word template file, since it has any keyboard shortcuts and macros you may have defined, and your toolbar customizations.

Re: Hotsync Birthday Field Info Into Palm
I seem to recall, when I started syncing my Visor with Entourage, that I had the same complaint. The standard Datebk does not have a birthday field set up. You need to use one of the custom fields, and assign it that name. I don't remember whether giving it the correct name lets hot sync transfer the birthday data; I think I had to transfer it manually. A trick to find all records with birthdays in Entourage is to do an Advanced Find with Birthday contains , (contains a comma). Since all dates contain a comma, you'll match on all fields with birthday records. You might try copying the birthday info to one of the custom fields; that will probably transfer in a hot sync.

What makes the Crevier package the best? How is it different from Carlson's FMP and HyperCard scripts? I used the Crevier script to archive a few thousand messages from Emailer a long time ago and then I did the next few thousand Emailer messages in Carlson's HyperCard script. I'm long overdue for archiving right now. I was hoping that John would make the message pane bigger in the HyperCard version so I wouldn't have to do so much scrolling to read messages. I doesn't look like he's working on it anymore and HyperCard will never go native in X. I now have around 10,000 messages in my database and it's a lot to back-up every time. IMO, Carlsen's package is better, and there is no choice between them IF you already own FileMaker. The Crevier package is available with a runtime version of FMP3, for free, so that's a big plus. EMA is automated, so you can just start it and let it run in the background while you do other stuff; with Crevier, you have to manually select each folder (and the messages) to archive.

Re: Moving MacOS 9 blessed documents folder?
I'll repeat: if you have the intention of running Entourage under both 9 and X, I advise against merging the Documents folder--or, at least, advise you to keep separate MUD folders for 9 and X, which is hard to do without keeping separate documents folders. There can be incompatibilities, for sure in scripts, and I think possibly in the mail database itself. The move from Entourage 9 and Entourage X will probably involve an import of the database, not a simple copy, something like the move from Outlook Express to Entourage.

Re: Moving MacOS 9 blessed documents folder?
On or near 8/21/01 3:35 PM, Eric Hildum at [EMAIL PROTECTED] observed: As I am switching to using OS X more and more, I would like to move my Mac OS 9 Documents folder (blessed by the system) to my OS X Documents folder - that is, I want to move the entire folder, not its contents. However, I am concerned about the impact on Entourage and the other Office components should I do this. Will the existing Entourage and Office be able to find my Microsoft User Data folder if the Documents folder is no longer at the root level? Will this cause problems with upgrading to the OS X version of Office when it is released? Note: I still need to boot MacOS 9 to allow synchronization of Entourage with my Palm via IR. More generally, is there anything that we should or should not do to ease the transition to the OS X version of Entourage, which I assume will involve at a minimum creating a new Microsoft User Data folder in each users' home directory? As you note, Entourage for X will certainly use the User's Documents-MUD folder, which is where you say you want to move your current MUD folder. My advice: Don't move it yet. You may, when E for X comes out, want to have separate databases and separate Entourage Script Menu Items folders for a while, so you can (if need be) switch back and forth. Having them in clearly different locations will probably make that easier. Scripts that work in 9 don't necessarily work in X, and vice versa. If you feel you must move your entire documents folder to another partition, rather than moving it to the actual OSX User Documents folder, why not create a folder of a different name in the User-Username hierarchy, and place the contents of your existing Documents folder there. Then, on your System 9 partition, make an alias to that folder and call it Documents. That seems to suffice for System 9.x. (System X isn't quite so happy to accept an alias for Documents; I think you have to leave the real documents folder and let it contain aliases to subfolders...). Thus, if I have two partitions, OS9 and OSX, my hierarchy would look something like this: OS9: -Documents (alias pointing to 9Documents folder on OSX) OSX: -Users: --Watson: ---9Documents: (folder containing previous contents of System 9 Documents folder) ---Documents: (folder containing OSX documents) This at least gets you into a setup where you can back up the Users or Watson folder and get everything...yet it keeps the System 9 MUD folder separate from the System X one. Once you switch over to the new Entourage entirely, and import all your data, you can delete that from 9Documents. You'll probably want to move the scripts, however, one by one, testing as you go. -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson A Mac family since 1984 http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/ Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/

How can I make a new message with correct parts and accents?
Let's try something simple first. The following results in a new message with the accented characters included:
tell application Microsoft Entourage
set gNewMsgSource to C'est franaise que je veux crire.
make new incoming message with properties
{content:gNewMsgSource, read status:untouched}

Notice that I used content rather than source, and I did not specify any character set. This works. Perhaps you need to specify the recipient, from field, and subject separately. Im not sure. Maybe all you have to do is omit the character set. I left out account and used folder 1 for simplicity; Im sure you could specify that if you wanted to.

Based on my experience, I'd say no. I do this all the time, and have not seen any problem. In fact, 90% or more of my work with calendar items is on the Palm. The only thing I do primarily on the Mac is adding new entries, usually Flag for follow-up kind of things stemming from Email. I revise schedules and set up recurring things on the Palm because DB4 has a much better interface for performing such manipulations.
