I know approximately nothing about elisp... but my intuitive interpretation is that it's setting the variable appt-time-msg-list to the value nil. When I do M-x help RET appt-msg-[TAB], I don't get any completions listed. Does that variable still exist? When googling that variable, I find evidence of people referring to it, but I'm not sure it's built into emacs -- are you sure you don't need to add something else, such as appt.el? - http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/appt.el John > > > I will deactivate the call to bh/org-agenda-to-appt, so I can have a normal > life again and use emacs and org-mode without any problem.
