It is purely cosmetic, and Org asks for a date/time in so many places that it would be a lot or work to always pass that information. The only thing I might consider is to remove the brackets alltogether in the live display of the read-date interface. But then< I do not think this is really relevant. - Carsten On Sep 30, 2008, at 10:10 AM, Chris Randle wrote: > Hi Carsten > > If I have an active date stamp and put my cursor in it and type `C- > c . . > [RET]', this happens: > > <2008-09-27 Sat> => <2008-09-30 Tue> > > If I do a similar operation in an inactive stamp with either `C-c . .' > or `C-c ! .
