The thought had crossed my mind. But basically that would be about as hard as using a webmail interface, and significantly more annoying than using something like Thunderbird or Outlook, so I don't really see that it would be an advantage.

Zeldor's idea of an app which simply directly connects to the server is reasonable, but how to do it (and do it securely) is completely out of my area of knowledge, and frankly isn't something I'm especially likely to do. Also I foresee firewall problems if I end up inside a university network again (the same issue applies to a web interface as well).

The ultimate thing I could do would make the LlamaServer pretend to be a dominions network server. But also very unlikely - the amount of work required would definitely not be justified by the return on time saved by users.

I'm really excited by Baalz's script - thanks Baalz! It sounds quite excellent - quite a significant timesaver. I'll take a look at it as soon as I get round to booting in Windows, and maybe it will inspire me to knock up something similar for Linux. We should also post in the MP forum so people actually find it.
