Subject: bug#6999: 23.2; [PATCH] appt ignores included diary files
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:31:42 +0100

When the main diary file includes other diary files. File saving in the
included does no appt-check, which means if one adds appointments
directly into the included file, they will not be added by
appt-update-list.

One simple solution is to make appt-update-list do appt-check if major
mode is diary-mode. Then users can open included files in diary mode and
add appointments.
