Re: Upgrade to org 7.9.3.: clock in/out and org-odt export

[Martin Butz <mb@mkblog.org>]

Hi Jambunathan,

thanks for the information about your name. So now I know how I can 
adress you - and not your father;)

As to the other very detailed infos about org-odt-export: Right now I 
have some work to do, but will have a closer look probably next week...

Thanks a lot
Martin
