The "icky" part, in my opinion, is the fact that there will be
times (probably the majority) when the frame will refresh but no
see any new pending events.  It's inefficient, but it's not
really bad design or coding.

Whether or not it's the majority depends on what events you're monitoring, and 
how much mail you get, how busy your calendar is, etc.

Anyway, given the architecture - disconnected client, ie a web browser - re-
requesting a page like this is the only way we have of polling for new events...

Subject: Error in message.php line 396 when there is no subject

I had planned to send this without a subject to demonstrate the problem,
but the list is smarter than I and wouldn't accept it :-). 
With the latest cvs I get an error message when the email has no subject 
from message.php line 396:

    $ob->name = urlencode($h->subject);

As a temporary solution, I just wrapped it in a conditional that checks 
the length and it solves the problem but this isn't a proper fix and I 
didn't trace back to try and find where it should be set if it is sent
blank.

Thanks,

ed
