Hi,
short answer, pressed for time: The help for `diary-mail-entries' has an example script: "C-h f diary-mail-entries".
But I think this can be handled by the "midnight.el" library, already included: "run something every midnight, e.g., kill old buffers".
More time next week. Hope this helps. Don't forget the excellent GNU Emacs
manual...
Toto
