[sync] Fwd: Re: Sync tasks and contacts with Thunderbird?

[Eric A. Bonney]

My apologies Jan... I some lists when you hit reply send the reply to 
the mailing list and not the actual person. I forget that I need to hit

I figured that this belonged on the sync list since I was attempting to 
"sync" my tasks with Thunderbird..
