Still can't picture the need, though. I This, and the ability to share calendars, is a big part why the Exchange Imperium is fixin to sweep over our campus. Department heads want to be able to allow their administrative assistants to manage their calendar, which is not an unreasonable requirement. We've spent a fair bit of time, effort, and money to have a reasonably fast and reliable mail system (relying mostly on Cyrus). However, without calendaring, it may very well turn out that much of this effort was in vain. -- Amos
