I am wondering: Would you like, after digesting the changes in the forthcoming 4.66, to make this into a FAQ entry? On Feb 18, 2007, at 2:39, Philipp Raschdorff wrote: > 1.

Fixed in 4.66 > HINT 2: Todos without a deadline will not be exported! you need: (setq org-icalendar-include-todo t) TODO's with a deadline are exported as calendar entries (VEVENT), not at all as TODO items (VTODO). With the above setting, you will get them as VTODO, so they will (for example in iCal) show up in the TODO list, not in the calendar itself. > HINT 3: it doesn't matter if a todo is marked done! in 4.66, you can get the DONE ones as well with: (setq org-icalendar-include-todo 'all) > > MY QUESTIONS regarding the topig org-mode and .ics/iCal: > - How can I export TODOS with missing Deadlines?

I don't. - Carsten
