;;; Commentary:

;; Description:
;; ===========

;; This package implements NNDiary, a diary backend for Gnus.  NNDiary is a
;; mail backend, pretty similar to nnml in its functionnning (it has all the
;; features of nnml, actually), but in which messages are treated as event
;; reminders.

;; Here is a typical scenario:
;; - 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.
;; - Send a (special) diary message to yourself (see below).
;; - Forget all about it and keep on getting and reading new mail, as usual.
;; - 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, just like if it were
;;   new and unread.
;; - Read your "new" messages, this one included, and start dreaming of the
;;   night you're gonna have.
;; - Once the date is over (you actually fell asleep just after dinner), the
;;   message will be automatically deleted if it is marked as expirable.

;; Some more notes on the diary backend:
;; - NNDiary is a *real* mail backend.  You *really* send real diary
;;   messsages.  This means for instance that you can give appointements to
;;   anybody (provided they use Gnus and NNDiary) by sending the diary message
;;   to them as well.
;; - However, since NNDiary also has a 'request-post method, you can also
;;  `C-u a' instead of `C-u m' on a diary group and the message won't actually
;;   be sent; just stored in the group.
;; - The events you want to remember need not be punctual.  You can set up
;;   reminders for regular dates (like once each week, each monday at 13:30
;;   and so on).  Diary messages of this kind will never be deleted (unless
;;   you do it explicitely).  But that, you guessed.


;; Usage:
;; =====

;;  1/ NNDiary has two modes of operation: traditional (the default) and
;;     autonomous.
;;     a/ In traditional mode, NNDiary does not get new mail by itself.  You
;;        have to move mails from your primary mail backend to nndiary
;;        groups.
;;     b/ In autonomous mode, NNDiary retrieves its own mail and handles it
;;        independantly of your primary mail backend.  To use NNDiary in
;;        autonomous mode, you have several things to do:
;;           i/ Put (setq nndiary-get-new-mail t) in your gnusrc file.
;;          ii/ Diary messages contain several `X-Diary-*' special headers.
;;              You *must* arrange that these messages be split in a private
;;              folder *before* Gnus treat them.  You need this because Gnus
;;              is not able yet to manage multiple backends for mail
;;              retrieval.  Getting them from a separate source will
;;              compensate this misfeature to some extent, as we will see.
;;              As an example, here's my procmailrc entry to store diary files
;;              in ~/.nndiary (the default nndiary mail source file):
;;
;;              :0 HD :
;;              * ^X-Diary
;;              .nndiary
;;         iii/ Customize the variables `nndiary-mail-sources' and
;;              `nndiary-split-methods'.  These are replacements for the usual
;;              mail sources and split methods which, and will be used in
;;              autonomous mode.  `nndiary-mail-sources' defaults to
;;              '(file :path "~/.nndiary").
;;  2/ Install nndiary somewhere Emacs / Gnus can find it.  Normally, you
;;     *don't* have to '(require 'nndiary) anywhere.  Gnus will do so when
;;     appropriate as long as nndiary is somewhere in the load path.
;;  3/ Now, customize the rest of nndiary.  In particular, you should
;;     customize `nndiary-reminders', the list of times when you want to be
;;     reminded of your appointements (e.g. 3 weeks before, then 2 days
;;     before, then 1 hour before and that's it).
;;  4/ You *must* use the group timestamp feature of Gnus.  This adds a
;;     timestamp to each groups' parameters (please refer to the Gnus
;;     documentation ("Group Timestamp" info node) to see how it's done.
;;  5/ Once you have done this, you may add a permanent nndiary virtual server
;;     (something like '(nndiary "")) to your `gnus-secondary-select-methods'.
;;     Yes, this server will be able to retrieve mails and split them when you
;;     type `g' in the group buffer, just as if it were your only mail backend.
;;     This is the benefit of using a private folder.
;;  6/ Hopefully, almost everything (see the TODO section below) will work as
;;     expected when you restart Gnus: in the group buffer, `g' and `M-g' will
;;     also get your new diary mails, `F' will find your new diary groups etc.


;; How to send diary messages:
;; ==========================

;; There are 7 special headers in diary messages. These headers are of the
;; form `X-Diary-<something>', the <something> being one of `Minute', `Hour',
;; `Dom', `Month', `Year', `Time-Zone' and `Dow'. `Dom' means "Day of Month",
;; and `dow' means "Day of Week".  These headers actually behave like crontab
;; specifications and define the event date(s).

;; For all headers but the `Time-Zone' one, a header value is either a
;; star (meaning all possible values), or a list of fields (separated by a
;; comma).  A field is either an integer, or a range.  A range is two integers
;; separated by a dash.  Possible integer values are 0-59 for `Minute', 0-23
;; for `Hour', 1-31 for `Dom', `1-12' for Month, above 1971 for `Year' and 0-6
;; for `Dow' (0 = sunday).  As a special case, a star in either `Dom' or `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 :-),

;; The `Time-Zone' header is special in that it can have only one value (you
;; bet ;-).
;; A star doesn't mean "all possible values" (because it has no sense), but
;; "the current local time zone".

;; As an example, here's how you would say "Each Monday and each 1st of month,
;; at 12:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 and 24:00, from 1999 to 2010" (I let
;; you find what to do then):
;;
;;   X-Diary-Minute: 0
;;   X-Diary-Hour: 12, 20-24
;;   X-Diary-Dom: 1
;;   X-Diary-Month: *
;;   X-Diary-Year: 1999-2010
;;   X-Diary-Dow: 1
;;   X-Diary-Time-Zone: *
;;
;;
;; Sending a diary message is not different from sending any other kind of
;; mail, except that such messages are identified by the presence of these
;; special headers.



;; Bugs / Todo:
;; ===========

;; * Respooling doesn't work because contrary to the request-scan function,
;;   Gnus won't allow me to override the split methods when calling the
;;   respooling backend functions.
;; * There's a bug in the time zone mechanism with variable TZ locations.
;; * We could allow a keyword like `ask' in X-Diary-* headers, that would mean
;;   "ask for value upon reception of the message".
;; * We could add an optional header X-Diary-Reminders to specify a special
;;   reminders value for this message. Suggested by Jody Klymak.
;; * We should check messages validity in other circumstances than just
;;   moving an article from sonwhere else (request-accept). For instance, when
;;   editing / saving and so on.


;; Remarks:
;; =======

;; * nnoo.
;;   NNDiary is very similar to nnml.  This makes the idea of using nnoo (to
;;   derive nndiary from nnml) natural.  However, my experience with nnoo is
;;   that for reasonably complex backends like this one, noo is a burden
;;   rather than an help.  It's tricky to use, not everything can be
;;   inherited, what can be inherited and when is not very clear, and you've
;;   got to be very careful because a little mistake can fuck up your your
;;   other backends, especially because their variables will be use instead of
;;   your real ones.  Finally, I found it easier to just clone the needed
;;   parts of nnml, and tracking nnml updates is not a big deal.

;;   IMHO, nnoo is actually badly designed.  A much simpler, and yet more
;;   powerful one would be to make *real* functions and variables for a new
;;   backend based on another. Lisp is a reflexive language so that's a very
;;   easy thing to do: inspect the function's form, replace occurences of
;;   <nnfrom> (even in strings) with <nnto>, and you're done.

;; * nndiary-get-new-mail, nndiary-mail-source and nndiary-split-methods:
;;   NNDiary has some experimental parts, in the sense Gnus normally uses only
;;   one mail backends for mail retreival and splitting.  This backend is also
;;   an attempt to make it behave differently.  For Gnus developpers: as you
;;   can see if you snarf into the code, that was not a very difficult thing
;;   to do.  Something should be done about the respooling breakage though.

(defcustom nndiary-reminders '((0 . day))
  "*Different times when you want to be reminded of your appointements.
Diary articles will appear again, as if they'd been just received.

Entries look like (3 . day) which means something like \"Please
Hortense, would you be so kind as to remind me of my appointments 3 days
before the date, thank you very much. Anda, hmmm... by the way, are you
doing anything special tonight ?\".

The units of measure are 'minute 'hour 'day 'week 'month and 'year (no,
not 'century, sorry).

NOTE: the units of measure actually express dates, not durations: if you
use 'week, messages will pop up on Sundays at 00:00 (or Mondays if
`nndiary-week-starts-on-monday' is non nil) and *not* 7 days before the
appointement, if you use 'month, messages will pop up on the first day of
each months, at 00:00 and so on.

If you really want to specify a duration (like 24 hours exactly), you can
use the equivalent in minutes (the smallest unit).  A fuzz of 60 seconds
maximum in the reminder is not that painful, I think.  Although this
scheme might appear somewhat weird at a first glance, it is very powerful.
In order to make this clear, here are some examples:

- '(0 . day): this is the default value of `nndiary-reminders'.  It means
  pop up the appointements of the day each morning at 00:00.

- '(1 . day): this means pop up the appointements the day before, at 00:00.

- '(6 . hour): for an appointement at 18:30, this would pop up the
  appointement message at 12:00.

- '(360 . minute): for an appointement at 18:30 and 15 seconds, this would
  pop up the appointement message at 12:30."
