Hi all,
I'm trying to convert items in my org files into appointments. 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

Are you calling the above code before org-mode has been loaded?  You
can look through the Messages buffer to see what happens at startup...

Thanks David,
that was exactly my mistake. It works perfectly now.
