The whole feature stinks!
I can't figure out how to make it useful, because when I set it to email myself, it asks mail.app to mail it but brings up a dialog to ask if it is ok to send first! If I never shut down mail it will only ask the first time, but unfortunately I do need to shut the program down for various reasons (Apple's retarded need to reboot my computer after a minor update to Quicktime being one of them). Hence I never get my important notices until I come back to my computer and reply to the annoying dialog. Until Apple changes this "feature", I can't find any use for this. BTW all you need to do is add more email addresses to your VCard in Address Book and they will appear in iCal - I try to use it to send messages to my SkyTel pager, but alas...
The whole feature stinks!
I think the real usefullness of this feature comes to light when you change the scripts to use the builtin sendmail instead of a GUI-based app to send the outgoing alert. This way iCal sends out alerts seamlessly with no user interaction required. Search MacOSXHints for the hint on setting up iCal with sendmail or search Versiontracker of MacUpdate.com for prebuilt scripts. |
