Accident, sorry.  It seems that posts sent out by the list have no
Reply-To field in them.

I've always used fancy-diary-display so, yes, I was assuming that the
%d's would be expanded with their values with simple-diary-display and
other functions like diary-sunrise-sunset and diary-phases-of-moon would
likewise be evaluated and their output displayed.  I guess that by
thinking the ordinary language meanings of "simple" and "fancy" I
misunderstood.  So... it's one of those cases of "That's not a bug, it's
a *feature*!"

I'm curious now... why would anyone want to use the simple diary
display...?  And why is it the default?
