-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Julian,
@11 July 2002, 16:38 +0100 Julian Knight [JK] in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck D Pearlstone: MDP>> Not to me! Why does an email client and an email address list MDP>> need all of that data? JK> Well I NEED an address book in my email client and I NEED an address JK> book in my "Diary". But that's fuzzy thinking because of language. You NEED a PIM with an address book and a diary. You NEED an email client with an *email address manager*. An email address is *not* a physical address. You do different things with it. JK> It seems sensible to me to have one address book with the JK> information I need in it, Why not have one database with every single piece of information about everything you keep on your computer in it? I say keep unrelated things separate. The only things in common *might* be contact names. Why might? Because how you address someone in a letter or on the phone often differs from how you refer to them in email. It certainly does for me. This is the point I'm trying to make. You are being blinkered by the term "Address Book" and can't see the different functions performed by both. Why does your PIM need to have an email reply template embedded in it? Why does your email address manager need a phone number? I suggest that neither need to encroach on the other's areas of expertise and that both are required and should be separate. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
