Please at least read the last paragraph and help if you can.

Thanks, I didn't know.  It doesn't wrap my quoted message correctly though.  Probably my fault, my 
mailer sucks.

I think the FRUUG guys used to do a one line summary in their meeting announcements, maybe I'll 
figure out how to do that.

How does it make a title?  Subject I assume, so I should pick subjects that are meaningful for gmail 
users, right?

If I sent something that's text/calendar would Outlook pick it up too?  I'd guess gmail would know 
that as well.  I wonder what Linux has for making text/calendar messages.  Shoot, I wonder what 
Linux has for a calendar (besides gcal, which doesn't understand email but I like otherwise).

What if I put in the address?  Does it give you a map?  Maybe I should just send the whole web page.

I feel so behind the times.  I need to start using that thing that replaced email.  What was it 
called again? ;-)

OK, so everyone that has a calendar app send me an example of how to make an appointment for it 
(with whatever info is useful to you).  Do you want that in email (body or attachment?), on a web 
page, or ...?  Can you use formats that other calendars can use (I have no idea what's standard in 
that space).

Thanks!
Dave
