Though, this is discouraged in the doc: ,---- | org-use-property-inheritance is a variable defined in `org.el'. | Its value is nil |=20 | Documentation: | Non-nil means properties apply also for sublevels. |=20 | This setting is chiefly used during property searches. Turning it on= can | cause significant overhead when doing a search, which is why it is not | on by default. `---- Couldn't we either: - consider the MAIL_* properties as the *_ALL ones that well have inheritan= ce enabled by default? ,---- | However, note that some special properties use inheritance under spec= ial | circumstances (not in searches). Examples are CATEGORY, ARCHIVE, COL= UMNS, | and the properties ending in "_ALL" when they are used as descriptor | for valid values of a property. `---- - have a setting allowing for the inheritance of just these special properties, as an extra, in order not to penalize too much the searches?
