Re: Agenda export to ics file

[John Helly <hellyj@ucsd.edu>]

Sure.  Thanks for the reply.

1) I put this line at the top of the org file

-*- org-icalendar-use-deadline: t;  -*-

and then run the command

M-x icalendar-export-to-ics

This produces an *.ics file but it has only past events (mostly TODOs).  
I don't see any sign of upcoming events that I typically have long lead 
times on (e.g., -180d).  So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

2) When I do the same thing on a different machine, I get a message that

'Symbol’s value as variable is void: 
org-agenda-default-appointment-duration'

and no *.ics file is written.

Any help appreciated.
J.
