The function `appt-make-list' clears all prior appointments when it parses the diary file [or files]. So if I have `appt-make-list' in `diary-hook' and I add an appointment using `appt-add' before I look at my diary, that appointment is deleted from `appt-time-msg-list'. I would have expected `appt-make-list' to keep any appointments added by appt-add. Regards, -- Jim Ottaway
