Hi Carsten

They have a really weak management for dates. Everything that exceeds
the due-time by more than one week, is awkward to insert (especially on
a phone) and very buggy and unstable. Yes, they have a special tag
inside the stream, but in the meantime I think it's not worth worrying
how to grab and convert it.

Now, I solved the case by inserting a couple of digits directly into the
headline and change it with an org-feed-after-adding-hook:

,----RTM
| 
| This is a date @@10030411:15-12:45
| 
`----

It will be converted into:

,----Orgmode
| 
| ** This is a date
|    <2010-03-04 11:15-12:45>
| 
`----

by this function:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun rtm-dateconvert ()
  (interactive)
  (beginning-of-buffer)
    (while (re-search-forward "@@\\([0-9][0-9]\\)\\([0-9][0-9]\\)\\([0-9][0-9]\\)\\([0-9]*[0-9]+:[0-9][0-9]\\)\\([-]*[0-9]*[0-9]*[:]*[0-9]*[0-9]*\\)" nil t)
      (replace-match "\n <20\\1-\\2-\\3 \\4\\5>" nil nil))
  (save-buffer "mygtd.org"))

(add-hook 'org-feed-after-adding-hook 'rtm-dateconvert)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So far it works. But it's not very elegant to jump to the beginning of
the buffer in the first step. I couldn't find out how to restrict
re-search-forward to only the current line. If that is possible, one
could get rid of the necessity of the @@.

There are still some other problems in using RTM with org-feed. I will
start a new thread on them. If they can be solved, I can absolutely
recommend RTM for orgmode users who own an Android phone (there is a RTM
app in the Market), especially since Reqall is not yet available in most
parts of Europe and OrgMobile for Android is not yet fully usable.

Greetings,

Sven
