changeset 23297:e23cdc314c10

(appt-interval): Variable deleted. (appt-check): For minutes in between appt-display-interval times, do check, but don't display anything except an updated mode line. Count against appt-display-interval based on minutes since first display of this appointment, not based on time of day. If appt-display-mode-line, force mode line redisplay whenever appt-mode-string has changed. (appt-add, appt-delete): Add autoload cookies. (appt-check): Catch errors from calling `diary'. (appt-max-time): Renamed from max-time. (appt-now-displayed, appt-display-count): New variables. (appt-timer): Don't create one if we already have one.
