(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved at the time.) I'm not sure I understand the problem here. As far as I can tell, it's fine to insert a future birthday. I tried: %%(diary-anniversary 12 14 2021) X's Birthday And then the 14th of December 2022 had that date marked. (We're not marking the 0th anniversary.) But I may be misunderstanding what this report is about. Do you have a recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", that demonstrates the problem? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
