Description Gav Wood 2002-11-06 19:10:14 UTC
Version:           3.1beta1 (using KDE 3.0.8 (KDE 3.1 beta2))
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r7

it would be very useful to set an appointment reminder that would send an email about said appointment some time before (typically a day).

Pop-up reminders are of no use if you're not at your desk all the time!  

Email reminders extend the calendar functionality beyond just one person and one location.  One can: 

-send a reminder to email where one can be reminded at a remote location where  email is accessed remotely.  

-also send to a pager or mobile phone which is always with the person.

-send to other people who need to be reminded - as is so often the case.
  See Staroffice 5.2 for great functionality this way.  You can send email reminders to multiple people at different times.  Post-v5.2 Staroffice no longer has the calendar function. 

Also, allow the reminders to be sent at a specified time Before the event, and also a specified time After the event - useful for follow-ups.

Please, please implement email reminders - I can't live without them!!  It is the main reason I can't convert completely to Korganizer.  

I have an old Red Hat 7.2 Linux box only running StarOffice5.2 so that my email reminders can get sent out.  It won't run on newer distros, so I have to keep this old box running!

Thanks,
Cosmo Lee

If I could insert the Subject "%s" and Body "%b" of my event as arguments to a command to execute, I could write my own script to mailx out my email reminders.  Of course, I would need to be able to say how far before the Event to run the program, and it would be *very* nice to be able to set up multiple reminders per event.

I referred earlier to the StarOffice 5.2 calendar.  The functionality of that package allowed a whole slew of formatting options like including a subject, date, time, body, and HTML or RTF formatting including underlining, bold, etc. 

It allowed you to set up a customized format for each reminder - very slick!  It made no sense to me that they took it out of the new versions of Star/Open Office.
