That did it! Thanks so much. I was only trying ts-up and tsia-up. The docstring might be wrong then when it says timestamp-up is for any timestamp, and ts-up is for active timestamp -- you'd assume that the one would simply be a subset of the other. In fact this works so well that I don't need to change my capture templates. When capturing from emails, I've got the template set up to make the first body paragraph read "Receieved on [inactive timestamp]". I suddenly realized I should be sorting on that for the agenda, and then I assumed I'd have to change the template to put the date somewhere more accessible, but timestamp-up finds it there. Thanks again, Eric
