I have tried to implement this in the attached file [just load it
after planner-appt].  It uses abbreviated day names Mon, Tue, etc.,
mostly for laziness - to save the trouble of finding the longest full
day name - but I think it looks better like that anyway.

What do you think?  If it works and you like it, I can add it to
planner-appt.
