11) Program parsable structured info? UNCHECK
How cool if emails have a semantic layer standard, like when someone invites you to an event using email, another app could automatically recognize datetime, convert time zones and add to a task reminder? (think of embedded iCal or vCard, but more generic and powerful).
- nemoniac 15y agoEmails have a semantic layer standard. it handles iCal and vCard. And not only that, it's extensible. See mailcap and MIME. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailcap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailcap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME
