For example, image you visit your friends every Thursday at = 16:00. Now putting the event in as TODO Visit friends SCHEDULED: <2011-11-10 Thu +1w> Now if I fire up C-c a L, I see that visit/meeting for this Thursday and = also for the following Thursday. However, it also appears when doing C-c = a a on Friday, namely as an event that happened in the past (on Thu) and = which is still scheduled. So for this repeating event, I don't want it = to appear on Friday as something I forgot on Thursday. Well, then one shouldn't (?) use SCHEDULED. Okay, so just put it in like = this: =20 TODO Visit friends <2011-11-10 Thu +1w> Now on Friday it does not appear anymore. However, if I fire up C-c a L = it also disappeared showing "[... 12 empty days omitted]" although on = the Thursdays within the 12 days, there's clearly the meeting with the = friends.... So getting "12 empty days" is not right, since I actually = have a meeting on Thursdays... How can I put in repeating events so that they show up on C-c a L but = they shouldn't show up after the corresponding date passed? Cheers, Marius=
