Modifying AppleScripts adds iCal capabilities Mac OS X Hints notes that by Modified iCal AppleScripts you can add support for Eudora to the newest iApp. I would assume that means I could also create an AppleScript to make iCal work with PowerMail 4 or any other AppleScript capable email program. Cool! 9:27:46 AM comment
