I'd tag it with the archive tag. > Is it the type of information you have about your past entries? > Active or inactive timestamps? Yes, what I want to spot are enties with an active (or also inactive? not sure about this one) timestamp that is before today, and if it's a TODO, it has to be in a DONE state. The same must hold for any subtrees. > Would we do the full "right clocking behavior", we should have clocked > in and out such entries.

I don't use clocking, but only changes to the TODO state are recorded in LOGBOOK. > What is the right behavior? Well, basically I'm just looking for a search facility that shows me an agenda view with all entries that contain only timestamps before today and no pending todos, so that I can use the agenda commands to act on them. Some will be deleted, others archived. Bye, Tassilo
