Yes, that was missing. I looked at [1] and added


  (setq nndiary-reminders '((7 . day) (0 . day) (60 . minute) (15
    . minute) (0 . minute)))


Having set nndiary-reminders does make a difference in that nndiary now
reads incoming mail and removes it from the ~/.nndiary mbox-file. It
prints messages into the message buffer about it like:


,---- [ *Messages* ]

| nndiary: Reading incoming mail (1 new)...done
| Reading active file from diary via nndiary...done
| Reading active file from news1.open-news-network.org via nntp...
`----


However, mail read by nndiary doesn't show up anywhere in gnus, and I'm
not getting any reminders. The files seem to be there, though:

What's with "/home/lee/News/diary/diary/"? Is that a leftover from my
trying to get it to work?

     ((7 . day) (0 . day) (60 . minute) (15 . minute) (0 . minute))

     I'm not sure what it means, though. I'm guessing it means I should
     be reminded 7 days in advance of the date, then on the day of the
     date 60 minutes, 15 minutes and 0 minutes in advance of the date.
