+This section describes a special mail back end called @code{nndiary},
+and its companion library @code{gnus-diary}. It is ``special'' in the
+sense that it is not meant to be one of the standard alternatives for
+reading mail with Gnus. See @ref{Choosing a Mail Back End} for that.
+Instead, it is used to treat @emph{some} of your mails in a special way,
+namely, as event reminders.
+
+Here is a typical scenario:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+You've got a date with Andy Mc Dowell or Bruce Willis (select according
+to your sexual preference) in one month. You don't want to forget it.
+@item
+So you send a ``reminder'' message (actually, a diary one) to yourself.
+@item
+You forget all about it and keep on getting and reading new mail, as usual.
+@item
+From time to time, as you type `g' in the group buffer and as the date
+is getting closer, the message will pop up again to remind you of your
+appointment, just as if it were new and unread.
+@item
+Read your ``new'' messages, this one included, and start dreaming again
+of the night you're gonna have.
+@item
+Once the date is over (you actually fell asleep just after dinner), the
+message will be automatically deleted if it is marked as expirable.
+@end itemize
+
+The Gnus Diary back end has the ability to handle regular appointments

+
+@code{nndiary} messages are just normal ones, except for the mandatory
+presence of 7 special headers. These headers are of the form
+@code{X-Diary-<something>}, @code{<something>} being one of
+@code{Minute}, @code{Hour}, @code{Dom}, @code{Month}, @code{Year},
+@code{Time-Zone} and @code{Dow}. @code{Dom} means ``Day of Month'', and
+@code{dow} means ``Day of Week''. These headers actually behave like
+crontab specifications and define the event date(s):
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+For all headers except the @code{Time-Zone} one, a header value is
+either a star (meaning all possible values), or a list of fields
+(separated by a comma).
+@item
+A field is either an integer, or a range.
+@item
+A range is two integers separated by a dash.
+@item
+Possible integer values are 0--59 for @code{Minute}, 0--23 for
+@code{Hour}, 1--31 for @code{Dom}, 1--12 for @code{Month}, above 1971
+for @code{Year} and 0--6 for @code{Dow} (0 meaning Sunday).
+@item
+As a special case, a star in either @code{Dom} or @code{Dow} doesn't
+mean ``all possible values'', but ``use only the other field''. Note
+that if both are star'ed, the use of either one gives the same result.
+@item
+The @code{Time-Zone} header is special in that it can only have one
+value (@code{GMT}, for instance). A star doesn't mean ``all possible
+values'' (because it makes no sense), but ``the current local time
+zone''. Most of the time, you'll be using a star here. However, for a
+list of available time zone values, see the variable
+@code{nndiary-headers}.
+@end itemize
+
+As a concrete example, here are the diary headers to add to your message
+for specifying ``Each Monday and each 1st of month, at 12:00, 20:00,

+@node Running NNDiary
+@subsubsection Running NNDiary
+@cindex running nndiary
+@cindex nndiary operation modes
+
+@code{nndiary} has two modes of operation: ``traditional'' (the default)
+and ``autonomous''. In traditional mode, @code{nndiary} does not get new
+mail by itself. You have to move (@kbd{B m}) or copy (@kbd{B c}) mails
+from your primary mail back end to nndiary groups in order to handle them
+as diary messages. In autonomous mode, @code{nndiary} retrieves its own
+mail and handles it independently from your primary mail back end.
+
+One should note that Gnus is not inherently designed to allow several
+``master'' mail back ends at the same time. However, this does make
+sense with @code{nndiary}: you really want to send and receive diary
+messages to your diary groups directly. So, @code{nndiary} supports
+being sort of a ``second primary mail back end'' (to my knowledge, it is
+the only back end offering this feature). However, there is a limitation
+(which I hope to fix some day): respooling doesn't work in autonomous
+mode.
+
+In order to use @code{nndiary} in autonomous mode, you have several
+things to do:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Allow @code{nndiary} to retrieve new mail by itself. Put the following
+line in your @file{gnusrc} file:
+
+@lisp
+(setq nndiary-get-new-mail t)
+@end lisp
+@item
+You must arrange for diary messages (those containing @code{X-Diary-*}
+headers) to be split in a private folder @emph{before} Gnus treat them.
+Again, this is needed because Gnus cannot (yet ?) properly handle
+multiple primary mail back ends. Getting those messages from a separate
+source will compensate this misfeature to some extent.
+
+As an example, here's my procmailrc entry to store diary files in
+@file{~/.nndiary} (the default @code{nndiary} mail source file):
+
+@example
+:0 HD :
+* ^X-Diary
+.nndiary
+@end example
+@end itemize
+
+Once this is done, you might want to customize the following two options
+that affect the diary mail retrieval and splitting processes:
+
+@defvar nndiary-mail-sources
+This is the diary-specific replacement for the standard
+@code{mail-sources} variable. It obeys the same syntax, and defaults to
+@code{(file :path "~/.nndiary")}.
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar nndiary-split-methods
+This is the diary-specific replacement for the standard
+@code{nnmail-split-methods} variable. It obeys the same syntax.
+@end defvar
+
+ Finally, you may add a permanent @code{nndiary} virtual server
+(something like @code{(nndiary "diary")} should do) to your
+@code{gnus-secondary-select-methods}.
+
+ Hopefully, almost everything (see the TODO section in
+@file{nndiary.el}) will work as expected when you restart Gnus: in
+autonomous mode, typing @kbd{g} and @kbd{M-g} in the group buffer, will
+also get your new diary mails and split them according to your
+diary-specific rules, @kbd{F} will find your new diary groups etc.

+Using @code{nndiary} manually (I mean, writing the headers by hand and

+@code{gnus-diary} written on top of @code{nndiary}, that does many
+useful things for you.
+
+ In order to use it, add the following line to your @file{gnusrc} file:
+
+@lisp
+(require 'gnus-diary)
+@end lisp
+
+ Also, you shouldn't use any @code{gnus-user-format-function-[d|D]}
+(@pxref{Summary Buffer Lines}). @code{gnus-diary} provides both of these
+(sorry if you used them before).

+@end menu
+
+@node Diary Summary Line Format
+@subsubsection Diary Summary Line Format
+@cindex diary summary buffer line
+@cindex diary summary line format
+
+Displaying diary messages in standard summary line format (usually
+something like @samp{From Joe: Subject}) is pretty useless. Most of
+the time, you're the one who wrote the message, and you mostly want to
+see the event's date.
+
+ @code{gnus-diary} provides two supplemental user formats to be used in
+summary line formats. @code{D} corresponds to a formatted time string
+for the next occurrence of the event (e.g. ``Sat, Sep 22 01, 12:00''),
+while @code{d} corresponds to an approximative remaining time until the
+next occurrence of the event (e.g. ``in 6 months, 1 week'').
+
+ For example, here's how Joe's birthday is displayed in my
+@code{nndiary+diary:birthdays} summary buffer (note that the message is
+expirable, but will never be deleted, as it specifies a periodic event):
+
+@example
+ E Sat, Sep 22 01, 12:00: Joe's birthday (in 6 months, 1 week)
+@end example
+
+In order to get something like the above, you would normally add the
+following line to your diary groups'parameters:
+
+@lisp
+(gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z %uD: %(%s%) (%ud)\n")
+@end lisp
+
+However, @code{gnus-diary} does it automatically (@pxref{Diary Group
+Parameters}). You can however customize the provided summary line format
+with the following user options:
+
+@defvar gnus-diary-summary-line-format
+Defines the summary line format used for diary groups (@pxref{Summary
+Buffer Lines}). @code{gnus-diary} uses it to automatically update the
+diary groups'parameters.
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar gnus-diary-time-format
+Defines the format to display dates in diary summary buffers. This is
+used by the @code{D} user format. See the docstring for details.
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar gnus-diary-delay-format-function
+Defines the format function to use for displaying delays (remaining
+times) in diary summary buffers. This is used by the @code{d} user

+you can also define your own. See the docstring for details.

+@findex gnus-summary-sort-by-schedule
+@findex gnus-thread-sort-by-schedule
+@findex gnus-article-sort-by-schedule
+
+@code{gnus-diary} provides new sorting functions (@pxref{Sorting the
+Summary Buffer} ) called @code{gnus-summary-sort-by-schedule},
+@code{gnus-thread-sort-by-schedule} and
+@code{gnus-article-sort-by-schedule}. These functions let you organize
+your diary summary buffers from the closest event to the farthest one.
+
+@code{gnus-diary} automatically installs
+@code{gnus-summary-sort-by-schedule} as a menu item in the summary
+buffer's ``sort'' menu, and the two others as the primary (hence
+default) sorting functions in the group parameters (@pxref{Diary Group
+Parameters}).
+
+@node Diary Headers Generation
+@subsubsection Diary Headers Generation
+@cindex diary headers generation
+@findex gnus-diary-check-message
+
+@code{gnus-diary} provides a function called
+@code{gnus-diary-check-message} to help you handle the @code{X-Diary-*}
+headers. This function ensures that the current message contains all the
+required diary headers, and prompts you for values or corrections if
+needed.
+
+ This function is hooked into the @code{nndiary} back end, so that
+moving or copying an article to a diary group will trigger it
+automatically. It is also bound to @kbd{C-c D c} in @code{message-mode}
+and @code{article-edit-mode} in order to ease the process of converting
+a usual mail to a diary one.
+
+ This function takes a prefix argument which will force prompting of
+all diary headers, regardless of their presence or validity. That way,
+you can very easily reschedule an already valid diary message, for
+instance.
+
+@node Diary Group Parameters
+@subsubsection Diary Group Parameters
+@cindex diary group parameters
+
+When you create a new diary group, or visit one, @code{gnus-diary}
+automatically checks your group parameters and if needed, sets the
+summary line format to the diary-specific value, installs the
+diary-specific sorting functions, and also adds the different
+@code{X-Diary-*} headers to the group's posting-style. It is then easier
+to send a diary message, because if you use @kbd{C-u a} or @kbd{C-u m}
+on a diary group to prepare a message, these headers will be inserted
+automatically (although not filled with proper values yet).
+
+@node Sending or Not Sending
+@subsection Sending or Not Sending
+
+Well, assuming you've read of of the above, here are two final notes on
+mail sending with @code{nndiary}:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+@code{nndiary} is a @emph{real} mail back end. You really send real diary
+messsages for real. This means for instance that you can give
+appointements to anybody (provided they use Gnus and @code{nndiary}) by
+sending the diary message to them as well.
+@item
+However, since @code{nndiary} also has a @code{request-post} method, you
+can also use @kbd{C-u a} instead of @kbd{C-u m} on a diary group and the
+message won't actually be sent; just stored locally in the group. This
+comes in very handy for private appointments.
