Hello!
Sometimes I write some comments after a todo entry like this:
,----
| *** TODO [#A] implement function XYZ
|
| VERY IMPORTANT: be careful not to forget ABC!!!
`----
When I browse my todos in agenda view (see below) most of the time I
forget about whether I have comments or not, so I don't even check:
,----
| ProjectFoo: ..TODO [#A] implement function XYZ
| ProjectFoo: ..TODO [#B] foo
| ProjectFoo: ..TODO [#C] bar
`----
I would like the agenda view to somehow sign entries that have comments,
like this:
,----
| ProjectFoo: ..TODO [#A] implement function XYZ (more)
| ProjectFoo: ..TODO [#B] foo
| ProjectFoo: ..TODO [#C] bar
`----
What do you think?
Thanks.

Well, that would flag all of my entries. I'm not sure I would
want all the extra info, since for me it would be repetitive. I have
been trying to think of a good suggestion for easily manipulating what
goes into an agenda view. I think a format string using property info
might go a long way. I can think of a good way to get what you are
after. Maybe if there was an implicit property for a heading like
HAS_BODY.
In any case, I don't think it is that uncommon to have todo
heading with body info and I know I would be annoyed by a feature like
this if I couldn't turn it off. I think there is a more
general/flexible feature that could implement this waiting to be
thought up.

Thanks for the input, I like that customizeble format string in agenda
views idea of yours.

* Some heading:
Works alright, but I think (more) would be better. I think it should
be displayed in the org buffer as well as in the agenda. As long as
it's configurable no one should have a problem. I'd also like it to be
configurable whether or not it includes SCHEDULED and the like as
"more."

Well, I would be very happy with ":" too, as long as it is automatically
added to the agenda views. :)

Either a format string (stored in a :Agenda: property?) or something
similar to the :COLUMNS: property.
For example, if there were a new special property for the %CONTENT, then
this property could be used to store the first characters of the current
headline's content.
:AGENDA: %TAGS %TODO %25ITEM %15CONTENT %20SCHEDULED
Would make the following todo line:
,----
| * Try to propose something useful to Org people :tag:
| :PROPERTIES:
| SCHEDULED: <2007-08-13 lun>
| :AGENDA: %TAGS %25ITEM %20SCHEDULED %15CONTENT
| :END:
|
| Some content here.
`----
displayed like this:
:tag: Try to propose something <2007-08-13 lun> Some content he
Or maybe this could be refined as this
:AGENDA: "%s %s on %s (%s...)" %TAGS %25ITEM %20SCHEDULED %15CONTENT
So that the display would be
:tag: Try to propose something on <2007-08-13 lun> (Some content he...)
I think using properties to define the way we want agenda entries to be
displayed is fine, since it let you define it for a whole buffer or for
each entry separately.

Please take a look at the
variable `org-agenda-restore-windows-after-quit'.
