Per:
A couple of answers come to mind... The first is that in the US we're so
fixated on our cars that we now link our email to them. Email arrives into
the radio via WiMax or satellite, is translated to speech, and spoken to us
while driving like a bat out of hell. Microsoft added this to BCM to test
out how we react to being linked to email ALL the time.
Second answer: It's a button on the toolbar that sits there patiently
waiting for someone to click it, then post a question on this discussion
group.
Hope that helps,
Lon
