Maybe I should re-read the documentation again, and see if I can come up with a quick start section. I'm still using it (for birthdays) but I must admit I haven't touched the code in years. On the other hand, I'm not sure I really want to spend anymore time on it. At the time I wrote it, making a new backend for this facility was a convenient way to go, but now I have another idea, which presumably is much more difficult to implement: the idea is that the "diary behavior" should not depend on any backend at all. Ideally, you want any article to behave in a diary-fashion, so you add the proper set of extra headers[1] to the article and then, it pops up as new from time to time, according to your reminder settings, whether it be from nnml, gmail, nntp, whatever. Footnotes: [1] not even the current X-Diary ones. Maybe something more cal-like. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.
