My overall scheme is roughly GTD-ish, and I have a WAITING todo keyword to indicate "tasks" which are waiting items. The hole, though, is this: I don't necessarily remember what all is in my waiting list (that's why I have Org!), and I also don't think to constantly check it. Most of my waiting tasks, though, pertain to e-mail; it'd be really nice if Gnus would somehow alert me that the message I'm reading may pertain to some task in my waiting list. Ideally by bringing up a window (perhaps at the bottom of the frame, under or above the BBDB window if there is one) listing all the WAITING items this message may apply to. Generally, e-mail-related WAITING items may be waiting on a couple of different things: either a reply to some message I have sent (I have functions in place so that my mails are linked to from Org by Message-Id rather than folder/number, so References header matches may be helpful here), or a message from some person (who probably has an entry in my BBDB). The message from that person may or may not clear the waiting status, but it'd be nice to at least know "this person that e-mailed you has 2 WAITING items", and I can then go deal with them as appropriate if the e-mail is applicable. Do any others have advice or ways they achieve behavior like this in Org? =2D Michael =2D-=20 mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type. Confused by the strange files? I cryptographically sign my messages.
