Hello,
I'm using org-agenda-to-appt to warn me about upcoming
appointments. I'm fine with the default warning time of 12 minutes, but
I would like to turn off the subsequent reminders that happen every
three minutes.
I'd like a reminder to occur 12 minutes before the appointment, then at the time
of the appointment. I found the appt-display-interval variable which
is 3 minutes, but this is
described as "Number of minutes to wait between checking the
appointment list.", which is
not /quite/ the same thing as a "Snooze".
I guess I'll just send the appt-display-interval to 11 minutes or
something like that. Is that what
everyone else does to avoid getting appt messages popping up every 3 minutes?
Thanks,
--Nate

Where did you see that? It probably needs some changes.
C-h v appt-display-interval RET says
,----
| appt-display-interval is a variable defined in `appt.el'.
| Its value is 3
|
| Documentation:
| Interval in minutes at which to display appointment reminders.
| Once an appointment becomes due, Emacs displays reminders every
| `appt-display-interval' minutes. You probably want to make
| `appt-message-warning-time' be a multiple of this, so that you get
| a final message displayed precisely when the appointment is due.
|
| Note that this variable controls the interval at which
| `appt-display-message' is called. The mode line display (if active)
| always updates every minute.

Just setting appt-display-interval and appt-message-warning-time equal
to (say) 12, should work fine, afaict - but I have not tried it.

PS A propos of nothing, one strangeness that I have observed is that at
least the *final* notification (and maybe all of them) is one minute
late, but I haven't chased it down yet.
