No. The("2004.04.20" "Birthday: Philip Chan(74th)") entry is actually
From bbdb-anniversary trying to insert it into the diary buffer. It
works fine if I don't load planner-cyclic. The same thing for
planner-notes-index-* and planner-cyclic.

If I don't load bbdb-anniversary and/or planner-notes-index, then
planner-cyclic works fine.

Works fine. Thanks.

Works fine. You are quick as usual.

Will try that and report back.

I do that already.

I use that already and it is a nice feature. Sometimes though I want
to see the complete notes of a topic in a buffer and to print
it. Also, if we have proper topic support then we can use
auto-conplete.

Sometime like planner-bbdb where it will search for records. You see I
am trying to do most of my tasks in Emacs so I can take advantage of
planner-mode. I am presently searching for a mode for more structured
data. Since edb is unmaintained and I only need text fields at this
point, I choose bibl-mode as a stop gap measure.

Maybe part of Gnus? Take a look at mailcap.el. Desclaimer: I am not a
programmer.

Ah thanks, didn't know that existed.

Thank you for all your help, Sacha.
