Hello Carsten,

thank's a lot! Good idea!

I tried it, using different regexes. It does not work when starting the remember buffer.
Being inside the remember buffer and calling the function it does work!
How can I track that down?
Btw, I cannot see a modeline telling me that I am in "remember mode" when I am in the Remember buffer.
Also "C-h m" doesn't show me anything about remember?
