I am thinking of using MH as a reminder system. I am aware of the emacs functions found in appt.el. What I would like to do is maintain my appointments in an mh folder. This can easily be done using the 'anno' command to annotate my message with a date field, called Appt-Date perhaps. Once the messages are annotated it is easy to use 'sortm' and 'scan' to dislplay the appointments in the folder. I would like to be able to do the annotations and sorting and scanning of the message within mh-e under emacs. Is there a way to annotate the (current) message from within mh-e? Is there a way to call the commands 'sortm' or 'scan' from under mh-e? Also, has anyone else tried to do what I am proposing?

I don't understand the question. If you are willing to write a little
Emacs Lisp code, you can add any feature you want to mh-e. After all,
the code already there calls sortm, scan, anno, etc. And if you're
not willing to write code, you're not going to get very far....
Your code may want to call some of the functions mh-sort-folder,
mh-regenerate-headers, and mh-annotate-msg.
