I was looking for an Opera plugin that would handle the text/calendar MIME type, and your widget was proposed as an alternative.
It is truly useful, and in 90% solves my needs too.
The remaining 10% are related to: "how comes, that there is not text/calendar plugin in Opera, to support somehow the meetings one gets in e-mails?".
I haven't found a way to write to you than through this blog entry. (off: I've tried writing a comment to the widget page, but each time I logged in, it took me to the widgets main page, and as I got to your widget page again, I wasn't logged in. Round'and'round.)
So, I want to ask from you if you ever thought about such a plugin? I'm thinging about writing one, that just shows the iCalendar entry as a readable text. (I use Opera 9.10, and that doesn't display anything when an appointment info is sent from Outlook.)
And it would be great if a plugin could communicate with a widget (yours of course), to add those mailed events in the widget.
Maybe this is not possible in a full automatic mode. I haven't wrote any widget or plugin yet, so all this is just an idea.
My mail is: hatod@operamail.com.
BTW, you might want to delete this comment, as it is not related to the blog entry...
Best wishes,
Hatod.
