The word "März" in my .diary file is different from the word "März" in calendar-month-name-array. As a result, calendar does not understand diary entries with the word "Mär" (like in "12 Mär 2004") anymore. I use calendar and diary for all my appointments. If I don't see my appointments for March anymore, I will be in trouble ... Anyway, it was all my fault. Everything works fine after commenting out the following lines in my .emacs: (set-language-environment "Latin-1") ;funktioniert wohl für die meisten ;europäischen sprachen ;; problems with latin-9 on Windows (define-coding-system-alias 'latin-9 'latin-1) (define-coding-system-alias 'iso-8859-15 'latin-1) I don't remember exactly, why I added the last two lines. I think it had to do with Gnus. Thanks for your reply.
