If you like how your appointments are shown, you can use the appt display mechanism, by setting org-show-notification-handler to something like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun my-org-show-notification-handler (notification) (funcall appt-disp-window-function "0" (current-time-string) notification)) (setq org-show-notification-handler (function my-org-show-notification-handler)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- HTH, Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
