Maisha is asking about a way to craft a link (delivered in e-mail) 
that, when clicked, will display both a calendar and the a selected 
event.  I answered her question, identified some of the problems with 
javascript pop-up windows, and suggested a CSS based (floated divs) 
approach.

Can you clarify what you're suggesting?

Pop-up windows are the future?  The trend seems to be towards pop-up 
blocking.
