I tried the org-agenda-show-all-dates =3D=3D = nil. Although it worked, without the warning about the month-long gaps = it was a bit hard to navigate. It was easier to navigate a full year of = complete agenda weeks. Its a shame I'm the only one to have noticed how = handy the (L) Timeline feature is ;-) Its output was (is) nice and = clean. It was the first thing I tried when I was looking to set up an = appointment several months down the road. I suppose I could do my own = "recurrences" by hand. Can you be more specific on what is so handy about the timeline format, = that you do not get in the agenda? Is it only the notice about the = left-out days? Or other things as well? - Carsten
