Hi all, I'd second this.  MS-Outlook is generally pretty bad, but it
has some nice PIM-oriented features.  For instance, you can drag an article into
the calendar and associate the article with a certain date.  Saves
retyping everything into diary.  

I was also thinking that perhaps a hyper diary may be a nice thing.
The diary would accept hyperlinks (much the way that gnus does now, or
Asvin Goel's Records Mode
http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~ashvin/software.html).  Then you could write a
lisp function to save your article to a text file (or mbox) and add a
hyperlink to your diary.  Hmmmm.  Perhaps beyond the purview of gnus,
but it'd sure be slick.  gnus already has a nice interface to BBDB,
perhaps it can be easily extended to Calendar and diary.

Cheers,  Jody
