Hi = Carsten --

I tested this morning on a different computer with = identical config

earlier version (I think it was 6.15trans), = org-remember worked fine as
expected. After upgrading (to version = 6.16d), I experienced the
behavior described in my earlier email. I = just upgraded to the latest
version (6.16trans), and I still get the = error. See backtrace and
org/remember set-up = below.

(Incidentally, after reading Charles Cove's report of a = similar
problem, I tried hitting C-c C-c a second time on the same = remember
template; I still get the same error I received = before.)

can you please create a = backtrace, and post your setup for remember =
