This is how you remind me

I like iCal’s alarm features, but there is one feature request I have: I’d like to have both an e-mail sent and have an alarm message pop up on screen. For now, it’s an either/or proposition, and which one I select depends on the type of event I need the reminder for, and when said event takes place. Having the option of setting both types of alarms covers all of the bases.

What about writing an AppleScript that does both. I assume you can't script the iCal alert window (though I could be wrong) but you could use the standard AppleScript alert window.

An excellent idea, Eric, though I am a total AppleScript neophyte. It does bear looking in to, however.
