Subject: [appt] allow specifying warning time in diary
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:54:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1r5h41upk.fsf@cam.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello,
When I put an appointment in the diary, sometimes I also want to set an
alert time. For example, if I am meeting a friend in London, I need a
notice 3 hours before the appointment.
The attached patch allows inserting in the diary something like this:
Saturday
13:00 #180 Lunch with Theresa.
Is this feature useful?
