Just incase someone is bored, and would like to contribute to the Outlook plugin, but don't think they can. Well, do I have the job for you <wink>. The plugin could do with some kind of "log file" strategy. Currently all "print" statements go to the win32traceutil package. However, once we package this up as a stand-alone DLL, this wont fly. Therefore, what I would like is code that does something reasonable with a log file, and redirects sys.stdout to this file. "Something reasonable" means somehow deleting old log messages. I dont care if we keep a different log per day automatically deleting old ones, or any other strategy that is both reasonable and not overkill. A new module would be perfect - then addin.py can import and use it when it detects it is frozen. No big deal, and not a huge job, but certainly should be fairly simple for anyone with reasonable Python skills, but no Windows or Outlook skills. Mark.
