The reason for this behavior is that I wanted to support things like * TODO Meeting at 2pm <2009-01-01 Thu> i.e. loose time information that may be in the header. The regular expression looking for a time also matches the time you had in the time stamp. > I can use %u to not have the time in the inactive time stamp but > that's simply avoiding the issue... something I am happy to do if need > be but would rather like to avoid! :-) I think the right approach is to not put the time stamp into the header line at all. Why would you want the *creation* time in such an exposed place???? - Carsten
