Meetings seem like things that should be scheduled, but they are not TODO items, so they don't seem like the sort of thing that should get a TODO marker (which it what "DONE" is), and they don't seem like the sort of thing that should require an active dismissal. So it seems like "SCHEDULED" is just the Wrong Thing for stuff like my meeting. Is there any different flag I could use that would give me a single appearance in the Agenda? thanks, r
