Keychain Experience?

[RGould8 at aol.com]

Hmmmm - - - so you're working on a Rev external that controls keychains?   I 
might be interested in that.   I need to be able to add an email account to 
AppleMail without actually launching AppleMail.   From what I can tell, the only 
safe way to do this is via keychains, due to the encryption when storing the 
password to a new account.   Any idea if your external could be used for such 
a thing?
