34 ;; nndiary is a mail back end designed to handle mails as diary event
35 ;; reminders. It is now fully documented in the Gnus manual.
41 ;; * Respooling doesn't work because contrary to the request-scan function,
42 ;; Gnus won't allow me to override the split methods when calling the
43 ;; respooling back end functions.
44 ;; * There's a bug in the time zone mechanism with variable TZ locations.
45 ;; * We could allow a keyword like `ask' in X-Diary-* headers, that would mean
46 ;; "ask for value upon reception of the message".
47 ;; * We could add an optional header X-Diary-Reminders to specify a special
48 ;; reminders value for this message. Suggested by Jody Klymak.
49 ;; * We should check messages validity in other circumstances than just
50 ;; moving an article from somewhere else (request-accept). For instance,
51 ;; when editing / saving and so on.
57 ;; * nnoo. NNDiary is very similar to nnml. This makes the idea of using nnoo
58 ;; (to derive nndiary from nnml) natural. However, my experience with nnoo
59 ;; is that for reasonably complex back ends like this one, noo is a burden
60 ;; rather than an help. It's tricky to use, not everything can be inherited,
61 ;; what can be inherited and when is not very clear, and you've got to be
62 ;; very careful because a little mistake can fuck up your other back ends,
63 ;; especially because their variables will be use instead of your real ones.
64 ;; Finally, I found it easier to just clone the needed parts of nnml, and
65 ;; tracking nnml updates is not a big deal.
67 ;; IMHO, nnoo is actually badly designed. A much simpler, and yet more
68 ;; powerful one would be to make *real* functions and variables for a new
69 ;; back end based on another. Lisp is a reflexive language so that's a very
70 ;; easy thing to do: inspect the function's form, replace occurrences of
71 ;; <nnfrom> (even in strings) with <nnto>, and you're done.
73 ;; * nndiary-get-new-mail, nndiary-mail-source and nndiary-split-methods:
74 ;; NNDiary has some experimental parts, in the sense Gnus normally uses only
75 ;; one mail back ends for mail retreival and splitting. This back end is
76 ;; also an attempt to make it behave differently. For Gnus developpers: as
77 ;; you can see if you snarf into the code, that was not a very difficult
78 ;; thing to do. Something should be done about the respooling breakage

135 Entries look like (3 . day) which means something like \"Please
136 Hortense, would you be so kind as to remind me of my appointments 3 days
137 before the date, thank you very much. Anda, hmmm... by the way, are you
138 doing anything special tonight ?\".
140 The units of measure are 'minute 'hour 'day 'week 'month and 'year (no,
141 not 'century, sorry).
143 NOTE: the units of measure actually express dates, not durations: if you
144 use 'week, messages will pop up on Sundays at 00:00 (or Mondays if
145 `nndiary-week-starts-on-monday' is non-nil) and *not* 7 days before the
146 appointment, if you use 'month, messages will pop up on the first day of
147 each months, at 00:00 and so on.
149 If you really want to specify a duration (like 24 hours exactly), you can
150 use the equivalent in minutes (the smallest unit). A fuzz of 60 seconds
151 maximum in the reminder is not that painful, I think. Although this
152 scheme might appear somewhat weird at a first glance, it is very powerful.
153 In order to make this clear, here are some examples:
155 - '(0 . day): this is the default value of `nndiary-reminders'. It means
156 pop up the appointments of the day each morning at 00:00.
158 - '(1 . day): this means pop up the appointments the day before, at 00:00.
160 - '(6 . hour): for an appointment at 18:30, this would pop up the
161 appointment message at 12:00.
163 - '(360 . minute): for an appointment at 18:30 and 15 seconds, this would
164 pop up the appointment message at 12:30."
