How do I "publish my free/busy info to a web page", given that when I
selected "Publish Free/Busy Information" in Evolution, I ended up
sending *mail* like this:

: From: "John Q. Public" <john at 127.0.0.1>
: Subject: Calendar information
: To: <contact1 at foo.org>, <BIFF at BITNET.NET>
: Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 09:03:27 -0400
: X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.5 (1.4.5-7) 
: 
: Free/Busy information (Wed 08/18/2004 to Wed 09/29/2004)

...to the people that I chose to notify.  How does this mail get sent
to a web page?


Sorry if this is a stupid question.  In case you haven't guessed, I
don't attend a lot of meetings and don't have a lot of experience with
this stuff.

PS In a seperate mail, Dan Coutu was kind enough to suggest that I
check out the (now free) Ximian Connector.  In my copious spare time,
maybe I'll do that  (any hints/tips/advice would be appreciated).
