35 ;; Gnus-Diary is a wrapper around the NNDiary Gnus backend. It is here to
36 ;; make your nndiary-user life easier in different ways. So, you don't have
37 ;; to use it if you don't want to. But, really, you should.
39 ;; Gnus-Diary offers the following features on top of the NNDiary backend:
41 ;; - A nice summary line format:
42 ;; Displaying diary messages in standard summary line format (usually
43 ;; something like "<From Joe>: <Subject>") is pretty useless. Most of the
44 ;; time, you're the one who wrote the message, and you mostly want to see
45 ;; the event's date. Gnus-Diary offers you a nice summary line format
46 ;; which will do this. By default, a summary line will appear like this:
48 ;; <Event Date>: <Subject> <Remaining time>
50 ;; for example, here's how Joe's birthday is displayed in my
51 ;; "nndiary:birhdays" summary buffer (the message is expirable, but will
52 ;; never be deleted, as it specifies a regular event):
54 ;; E Sat, Sep 22 01, 12:00: Joe's birthday (in 6 months, 1 week)
56 ;; - More article sorting functions:
57 ;; Gnus-Diary adds a new sorting function called
58 ;; `gnus-summary-sort-by-schedule'. This function lets you organize your
59 ;; diary summary buffers from the closest event to the farthest one.
61 ;; - Automatic generation of diary group parameters:
62 ;; When you create a new diary group, or visit one, Gnus-Diary checks your
63 ;; group parameters, and if needed, sets the summary line format to the
64 ;; diary-specific value, adds the diary-specific sorting functions, and
65 ;; also adds the different `X-Diary-*' headers to the group's
66 ;; posting-style. It is then easier to send a diary message, because if
67 ;; you use `C-u a' or `C-u m' on a diary group to prepare a message, these
68 ;; headers will be inserted automatically (but not filled with proper
71 ;; - An interactive mail-to-diary convertion function:
72 ;; The function `gnus-diary-check-message' ensures that the current message
73 ;; contains all the required diary headers, and prompts you for values /
74 ;; correction if needed. This function is hooked in the nndiary backend so
75 ;; that moving an article to an nndiary group will trigger it
76 ;; automatically. It is also bound to `C-c D c' in message-mode and
77 ;; article-edit-mode in order to ease the process of converting a usual
78 ;; mail to a diary one. This function takes a prefix argument which will
79 ;; force prompting of all diary headers, regardless of their
80 ;; presence/validity. That way, you can very easily reschedule a diary
81 ;; message for instance.
87 ;; 0/ Don't use any `gnus-user-format-function-[d|D]'. Gnus-Diary provides
88 ;; both of these (sorry if you used them before).
89 ;; 1/ Add '(require 'gnus-diary) to your gnusrc file.
90 ;; 2/ Customize your gnus-diary options to suit your needs.
