Oh sure, I don't think this is a good solution by any means. It just presented itself as the shortest distance from here to there, at present. I hadn't read the conversation on the bug report. My 2 cents is that the calendar and the diary ought to be separate or at least separable things. I want to use the calendar; I have no need for the diary. Org mode users, in particular, will be using org to do what diary does, and my guess is most of us would like the bbdb-to-calendar integration to be separate from the diary. As you mention in the report, there's really no reason for an intermediate file. That's why `calendar-mark-visible-date' seemed like the best entry point: it's actually quite clean. But the rest of the code (including population of org-bbdb-anniv-hash) only works because org-bbdb loads diary-lib and does all the diary-related stuff for us. Does calendar/diary separation seem like a good idea? I could possibly chime in on the bug report... E -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

I'm close to having most of the questions from my last email answered. I can get the BBDB anniversaries to show up in the fancy diary, however even with the code below in init.el, I have to run (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries). Ideas? ;; bbdb (add-hook 'after-init-hook ( lambda () (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)) (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries)) The second thing that threw me off was that calendar days for BBDB anniversaries weren't marked even with calendar-mark-diary-entries-flag set to t. Is it possible to mark calendar days for BBDB anniversaries? Thanks, Joseph -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
