Yes, this is true. Right now I am imposing a certain style and don't
allow a customization of that. I guess that could be done, but would
be hard to get general enough to make it work for everyone.

Yes, this is correct. Currently no way to do this.

I guess this would be easy to generalize, with some kind of format
variable.

This would be harder. How should we guess the date/time for the
deadline?
I also just realize that it might be handy to have org-mode active
when editing the entry, to be able to do the timestamps and other
things while editing the entry.
Hmm, I can see two way to modify this:
1. modify the remember mechanism, basically giving the user more rope,
for example along these lines:
- by setting a default template that could contain current time
stamps etc.
- calling a hook before and after you edid the remember entry, booth
hooks could be
used to modify the entry
- Invoke org-mode for that buffer and install a special key (C-c
C-c) to get out and file the entry. In particular without inserting
a timestamp after editing, so that TODO entries would remain active.
2. Doing it the way Charles proposed, but just going to the journal
file and making that entry by hand. This would give you full control
about where and how to place the entry. Disadvantages with this
approach are that it maybe a little bit less fast to find a certain
location in the tree. Also, you would use your window setup. This is
one of the nice things in Remember, that you really get back to where
you started before making the note, without additional actions.
Comments?
