Seems I was suffering from semicolon blindness, i.e., the above
statement I made isn't true, i.e., there is an error in .emacs which
caused it to bail before my redefinition of the variable diary-file:
(define-mail-alias weasels ripped.my@flesh.com)
Just looking at it and pondering elisp as hard as I can, I imagine it
must need a quote or two somewhere. Being ever the elisp neophyte
though, I can't say where or what kind.
define-mail-alias is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`mailalias.el'.
(define-mail-alias name definition &optional from-mailrc-file)
Define name as a mail alias that translates to definition.
This means that sending a message to name will actually send to definition.
....
gives me no clue as to syntax (though "me" might be the pivotal term here).
What's da fix??
tnx++
