I'm missing various features in the calendar / diary mode and I've
been wondering if there exists an enhanced diary mode that implements
those, or whether anybody implemented any of those stand-alone. The
ones that I'd find particulalry useful are:
- sending reminders via email rather than displaying them in the mode
line;
- marking diary entries in various ways depending on the type of the
entry (e.g.: anniversaries in red and appointment via underlining);
- something like RefTeX's follow mode: moving cursor from one date to
another would automatically result in displaying diary entries for
the new date, without the need to press 'd' each time.
<NTG>
Failing that, could anybody recommend any linux diary / appointment
management program that's not too heavy (evolution is heavy) and which
has such features?
</NTG>
Many thanks.
Adam

I don't use it. Should I? Will I not know how I lived without it if I
do? I've tried a few times, but found it a bit hard to use. Maybe the
biggest drawback is that I work in Microsoft environments so calendar
stuff is all in the behemoth's software.

Yes, that's how it is for me at least.

Well, just like the rest of Emacs, you don't have to learn all of it
at once. I found it to be quite obvious when I first started using
it, so it shouldn't be _too_ hard.

My condolences.

FWIW, I ditched my Palm III in favor of BBDB and the Emacs diary.

Could you be a bit more specific as to why? Isn't there a BBDB to
Palm synchronizer out there (somewhere...)?

There is. In fact there are several. Unfortunately the only one I've
found that is a true synchronization as opposed to a one way export
from bbdb to pilot appears to be no longer active development. Nor
for that matter, is the synchronization tool it's built on. These
would be SyncBBDB and pilotmgr. They still work, but not nearly as
well under PalmOS4 as they did under PalmOS3. I get various warnings
that I suspect may become fatal errors in some future version of
PalmOS, and had to tweak some (shudder) perl to get it to work for
me. For a while I synchronized everything except the Datebook (we use
a proprietary calendar system at work in spite of my best efforts)
with pilotmgr and linux. Due to the problems I've had, now I have to
sync everything but bbdb with the Palm desktop. Bleah.

Thanks to you and Alan for the replies. I had considered getting a
Palm and eventually hooking it up to BBDB, but I guess I'll rethink
that strategy.

I use it and find it very useful, with only only minor quibbles.
quibble (1) As far as I know, its not possible to display diary
entries in a grid format. If this is in fact possible, it
would make diary/calendar even more wonderful.
quibble (2) This involve the i-d command,and I think I will start a
separate thread for this one
