You are probably aware that --batch implies --no-init-file, which means
your personal .emacs and installation's default.el files are not loaded.

Rather than partially replicating the contents of those files with
--eval etc., why not explicitly load them:

emacs --batch --load ~/.emacs --load default.el --funcall diary-mail-entries
