Use sendmail for iCal reminders

To have all your notifications for iCal sent by sendmail through the shell, first create a backup of, then open iCal.app -> Contents -> Resources -> mailScript.applescript and replace the contents with:

set mysubject to "$1"
set mybody to "$2"
set myrecipient to "$3"

do shell script "echo "" & mybody & "" | mail -s ""
& mysubject & "" " & myrecipient
[The 'do shell' command is split onto two lines; enter it on one when you enter the script]

I haven't extensively tested its compatability, but so far I haven't had any problems using the script to email my phone! Good luck!
