Hi all,
I would say "long time reader, first time poster", but half of it
wouldn't be true ;)
I know from reading the manual that org-mode can "interact" with the
appointment notification facility in the emacs diary/calendar, so
maybe I am barking up the wrong tree by asking here, if so then then
please feel free to point me there. I couldn't see anything in the
archives, and haven't been able to find anything suitable with google
either.
What I would like to do is have emacs send me an email when a deadline
is approaching. Is that possible? I am *much* more likely to read an
email than remember to look at the calendar or whatever, and moreover
it sits in my mailbox until I really take some action to deal with it,
even if it is only to delete it.
If you respond, please do so to the list as I am subscribed.

TIA,
Gary

You can check out this article
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5271 for having reminders
show up as pop-ups. Replace the “call-process” bit with your own shell
program or lisp fragment.
HTH,
Mark.
