OK, that's about what I expected.

This is also what I expect, but how do I know which applications expect 
plugins at all?  Can I write a plugin for Mail.app?  For iCal?  What 
are the rules?  If this is in the FAQ somewhere, I haven't seen it, but 
feel free to tell me to RTFM if it is.

I'm also curious how pyject works with this (if its related at all).  
Can you give an example of how pyject would be used?

Thanks again.

"...our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth
century. [...] The three or four years' course of lectures, the bachelor
who knows some, the master who knows most, the doctor who knows all, 
are ideas that have come down unimpaired from the Middle Ages.  
Nowadays no one should end his learning while he lives and these 
university degrees are preposterous. [...] Educationally we are still 
for all practical purposes in the coach and horse and galley stage." H.
