Amen to that! I ended up writing a script to export Outlook Notes to get the plain text out when I stopped using Notes under PocketPC. It shouldn't have to be that much work! If you have plain text you can at least use vi/vim/more/less :-)

I ended up using a (Windows) application called Tombo (not TomBoy) http://tombo.sourceforge.jp/En/ which I have run under Wine for Linux support. Not so useful for the NIT though....

I ended up writing a cross platform version http://code.google.com/p/pytombo/wiki/WxTombo but with the new versions of wx it only partial works now (menus missing). I'm in the process of re-designing the core library and moving to a GTK gui but I do not yet have something ready for prime time so it is pretty much vaporware right now.

I do have a web based search tool for it though and the code is available for that http://code.google.com/p/pytombo/wiki/WebTomboGrep -- it uses python and because the Python runtime on the NIT is missing BaseHttpServer it will probably need a few of the standard library files copying across.

I do not yet have a NIT though (still waiting for the Nokia fairies to visit me) so at the moment I'm not looking into getting it Nokia ready.


Someone has ported Scite (needs packaging), I personally love Scite on the desktop. It should be worth a look.
