As the Job log contains the eMail address to which I had Calibre send the eBook, I guess it's just a matter of the as-yet-non-existent plugin grabbing that eMail address and today's date from the log. Then, if I eMail the same book to someone else, the plugin would concatenate that new eMail address and today's date to the existing data in the column.
As the saying goes:
"Then a miracle happens." If I could code it myself, I'd do it.

Calibre can eMail a selected book using SMTP credentials I provide in the preferences. It works great. But I'd like to have a column that automatically enters the date the book was emailed; optionally (as long as I'm asking) include the eMail address of the recipient. Right now I'm just eMailing books to myself (so I may receive them on an iPad) but I expect to add a friend's eMail address, as well, so I may send him some books as necessary. Having a column with the date the eBook was eMailed along with the recipients' email(s) would be helpful. I suppose one might call this a "gifting library" function. Perhaps I should be looking for something more akin to "library software"?
Hope this is helpful. Thanks!
