Hi,
After further investigation, it is the call to the function
(org-agenda-to-appt) inside the function bh/org-agenda-to-appt that is
causing the error.
The body of the function:
; Erase all reminders and rebuilt reminders for today from the agenda
(defun bh/org-agenda-to-appt ()
(interactive)
(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
(org-agenda-to-appt)
)
I will deactivate the call to bh/org-agenda-to-appt, so I can have a normal
life again and use emacs and org-mode without any problem. I will review
and clean my configuration when times permit.
I am anyway curious to know why that function call generate such error.
Thanks for your help,
Roland.
