Finally you can chose to export all plans or only the currently selected one.

Import your plans with the File > Import menu option.
The open sheet displyed allows you to select the .hotplan file you want to import and, once selected, it will add the contained plans and actions at the bottom of the plan table view.


Send Email

You can send the current action, the current plan or all plans by email directly without launching an external program.
You can specify the from and to addresses (typed by hand or selected from the Address Book), the subject and an optional message body.

Hot Plan still needs an external mail application, even if you won't have to deal with it. Currently supported are Apple's Mail, Eudora and Entourage. You can select your client in the general preferences section.
