No, no, it's quite easy to link incoming emails to contacts in the Palm
Desktop -- by way of Palm memos. You write the incoming email into a Palm
memo, and attach that Palm memo to the Palm contact. That's the whole power
of AppleScript. It isn't a question of whether one app has a direct
connection to another (via OLE, for example), but whether the data from one
app can be transported to another.
