appt and calendar use different month names

appt and calendar use different month names

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

I use

(setq calendar-month-name-array
      ["Januar" "Februar" "März" "April" "Mai" "Juni"
       "Juli" "August" "September" "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"])

in .emacs (German month names).  In the latest CVS Emacs this
doesn't work with "appt", i.e. no appointment windows pops up.  The
reason is that the diary entry starts with "Okt 10, 2005" but appt
expects "Oct 10, 2005".  How can one get appt to do the same as
calendar?  (Shouldn't it do so anyway?)

Tschö,
Torsten.

Could this make it work?

(setq calendar-month-abbrev-array
   ["Jan" "Feb" "Mär" "Apr" "Mai" "Jun" "Jul" "Aug" "Sep" "Okt" "Nov" 
"Dez"])

Well, at least calendar displays the days with appointments when I
press "m" (they were missing before).  However, appt is still
unimpressed by this.

Tschö,
Torsten.

Sounds like a bug.  Try M-x report-emacs-bug RET.
