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.
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list.
