Hello,

I have come up with a way to translate nndiary entries to diary
entries.  The code is kind of rough (my first real elisp attempt), but
it seems to be working for me.

Motivation: nndiary is great, but you can't see your diary entries in
your calendar or fancy-diary displays.  

Solution: For each nndiary group, make a file that gets stored where
the diary entries are stored (i.e. ~/News/diary/diary) called diary
that can be "#include"-d in your ~/diary file 

#include "~/News/diary/diary/diary"

I had to slightly modify nndiary.el and gnus-diary.el to make this
work.  Don't think I broke anything.  Then I made a second file
nndiary-to-diary.el.  

Steps:

0) Install nndiary.el as per Didier's instructions
1) Put nndiary-to-diary.el in your load-path
2) edit .gnus:

(require 'nndiary-to-diary)
(add-hook 'nndiary-request-update-info-hooks 'gnus-nndiary-to-diary)

3) edit .emacs 

;; Allow calendar and fancy-diary to see the included files
(add-hook 'list-diary-entries-hook 'include-other-diary-files)
(add-hook 'mark-diary-entries-hook 'mark-included-diary-files)

4) edit diary

#include "~/News/diary/diary/diary" 

(or wherever your diary messages get put.)

5) Start gnus.

The diary files are updated every time that you update the diary
group (M-g, etc).   

Any comments are most welcome.  Very much beta software by a very
unknowledgeable lisp programmer.  Hopefully Didier or someone else
will polish it up....  However, it seems to mostly work.

Cheers,  Jody
