Hi All,
Rather than changing the config variable, I'd like to change the number
of "warning days" on a deadline date. I put the following:
DEADLINE: <2010-02-14 Sun -14d>
But when I view the agenda, I'm not getting my warning days. I only see
the warning if *today* is within the time frame, not if I'm just
*viewing* the time frame.
Any way to have the warning show regardless of what day it is?

I think what you are seeing is the intended behaviour. If you set a
deadline warning day it only shows up in your agenda when 'today' is
within the warning period (ie. you're less than 14 days away from the
deadline date).
I don't think you can set a deadline for 6 months in the future with
-14d and expect to see the warning when you view the calendar a week
before that deadline since the deadline is still 6 months away from
today.
