What I have found is: If you don't notice a reminder message (for instance because you are away from your computer for hours), the reminder goes away and you never see it. appt might ask for a confirmation. How can you go from the appointment reminder to the org file which describes it? Maybe it's 23:00 h and you have one appointment not for today, but for tomorrow; but appt shows you only the ones for today. How do you make it show just =84the next one"? In fact, how can you see the next appointments? (Even if they are for next week) How can you make that appt checks your agenda every N hours? appt displays the reminder at the modeline. What happens if, just after the message, you receive other messages? The reminder can also get lost. Do you find appt complete and nice to use? If so, how did you improve it= ? Are there better methods? Thanks, Daniel On 4/15/08, Bernt Hansen wrote: > DigitalPig writes: > > > I am using Emacs 22.2 with Org Mode 5.23a.
