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
