Re: problems with diary, appointments, and european-calendar

[Joe Corneli]

Earlier I was reporting on Fink's 21.3.50.1, but I just rebuilt from
CVS and got the same version number (I didn't know that Fink was so
up to date!).

Here is my new set-up, following the form you gave me.


; DIARY, CALENDAR, AND APPOINTMENTS
(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
(setq diary-file "~/.diary.txt")
(setq diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)
(add-hook 'today-visible-calendar-hook 'calendar-mark-today)
(setq european-calendar-style t)
(require 'appt)
;; (setq appt-issue-message t)
;; (setq appt-message-warning-time 1)
;; (setq appt-display-interval 1)
;; (setq appt-visible t)
;; (setq appt-msg-window nil)
;; (display-time)
;; ;; makes "d" in the calendar reload the appt list.
;; (add-hook 'diary-hook 'appt-make-list)
;; (diary 0)

(setq appt-display-format 'echo
      appt-message-warning-time 1
      appt-display-interval 1)

(appt-activate 1)


Appointments entered in the diary still are not picked up at
restart, nor upon running M-x diary, nor upon M-: (appt-check).  I
know I had appointments working under this version of Emacs, but I
don't know what has gone wrong now (after I restructured my .emacs).
