I've never used nndiary before, so I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
If I
`G m diary RET nndiary RET'
then I get an nndiary group, and as you say, `C-u a' opens a message
mode buffer, and if I put something in the To header, the message is
sent to that recipient. So the documentation here is wrong -- or
there's a bug, and `C-u a' is supposed to not send anything.

Hm. The "S i" key? That's not bound in my Group buffer.
