Brainstorming an iCal-Mail.app mash-up
Boris Anthony has posted some mocked-up screenshots
of features he would like to see in Mail.app and iCal that bring the two apps closer together.
He suggests some “smart lists” based on Mail’s Previous Recipients list, a Contextual Menu feature in iCal that would provide lists of all the files and emails created on a particular day and a calendar widget to sit in the bottom of Mail.app’s Mailbox Drawer.
The next version of MailTags will already bring greater integration between Mail.app and iCal. Boris’ ideas would bring them even closer together.
Check them out. What do you think?

Not too long now, I think.
If it’s any consolation, it’s worth waiting for.

Not long — my issue to fix list is down to about 2-3 items. I hope to finish it off tonigh, get confirmation that things are ok, and get the release out tomorrow.
