diary buffer.

It is something written by Sacha. Here it is:

| (defun message-to-diary ()
|   (make-diary-entry (concat

| 		     (if (message-fetch-field "newsgroups")
| 			 (concat " Sent news To: " (message-fetch-field "newsgroups"))
| 		       (concat " Sent mail To: " (message-fetch-field "to")))
| 		     " Subject: \"" (message-fetch-field "subject") "\""
| 		     " Message-ID: " (message-fetch-field "message-id"))))
