FWIW, reading the commentary section of planner.el by John Wigley, I think that this package provides some means to do this. AFAICU you need a external tool called "remind" and it works together with calendar and diary. But I have not installed and tried it myself. (I always wanted to do it, though ... I think, I need a program that reminds me of such tasks ...) -- Oliver -- 8 Vendémiaire an 211 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
