Message-ID: <002b01c57f97$d871e7e0$0200a8c0@janus> (raw)
In-Reply-To: uzmt4pfww.fsf@gnu.org
A very large number of companies, today, have tied themselves into using
Microsoft Outlook coupled with a Microsoft Exchange Server. Outlook has
many integrated features, including personal calendars, group calendars,
sending and processing meeting invitations, applying digital signatures,
applying message encryption/decryption via a company assigned personal key
assigned to each employee, etc. For example, when a meeting invititation
arrives in the inbox, an entry is placed into the user's calendar with
markings to indicate an invitation has been issued but no response has been
given. When I visit the message in my inbox, it displays buttons for me to
accept, to tentatively accept, or to decline the invitation. If I decline
the invitation, the meeting is automatically removed from my schedule.
As far as I know, Emacs has no support for many of these sophisticated
features of Outlook. Unless there is a new Emacs mail package with support
for Outlook's many features, allowing it to replace Outlook on their PC
desktop, many engineers are stuck using Outlook to read and to send email
while they are at work.
