[pmmail-list] Address book and LDAP (was: More on PMINews & PMMail & OS/2)

[L.Willms]

  I have to add a correction to what I wrote a week ago, after I experimented 
with LDAP searches today -- I did not have a functioning LDAP server with 
actual addresses in it, but today I spent some time both with VPOP3's LDAP 
server and searching for LDAP servers on the Internet, where I found some 
working at universities, both in Europa and in North America. 

   The result is, that the LDAP implementation of PMMAil is better than I 
thought.

   Actually, the dialog which opens on double clicking an address found via a 
LDAP search, hat an "ADD" button in place of the "OK" button, and this allows 
to add that address to a local address book. 

   Nonetheless, a drag'n'drop into the message compose window would be nice to 
have.
