Well, if you copy the message into the tasks, then a task is created. If you 
copy the message into the calendar, then an event is created.

I thought about writing the filter myself, but I am not running the Kolab 
server, so I foresee problems when writing to a client folder. Will it get 
updated correctly. For example, the calendar entries are stored in:

.0groupware.directory/Calendar

Could I write to either cur or new and have the entry be immediately 
accessible **even if** the client was running?  Plus, I see that creating 
files under .0groupware.directory/Calendar (assuming that is what I am 
supposed to do) is not as easy as just create a file will the necessary 
format.
