As far as my understanding goes, org-agenda-to-appt has to be run every time I start emacs so I added these lines to my .emacs file: (setq appt-display-format 'window) (setq appt-display-duration 30) (setq appt-audible t) (setq appt-display-mode-line t) (appt-activate 1) (org-agenda-to-appt) but when I start emacs appt-time-msg-list has value nil. However if I run org-agenda-to-appt manually right after emacs startup, then I get the message "1 event added for today" and the variable appt-time-msg-list contains the appropriate values. What am I doing wrong here? thanks alfredo -- ----------------------------------------- Alfredo Buttari, Innovative Computing Laboratory, UTK Computer Science Dept. 1122 Volunteer Blvd. Knoxville, TN 37996 Tel: 001-865-974-9989 URL: http://alfredobuttari.wordpress.com
