Ah, sorry -- stupid oversight: Org-mode version 7.7
(release_7.7.160.g3e33). Should be yesterday.

I'm using plain elisp to create custom agenda views (the customize
interface is hard to look at). Here's the simplest thing I started with:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("p" "Personal agenda plus mail"
	 ((agenda "-CATEGORY=\"pr\"")
	  (tags "TODO=\"EMAIL\"-CATEGORY=\"pr\"")))))

The "tags" section filters correctly, but the agenda doesn't. This
probably isn't the correct way to do it, but the examples in the
manual don't show how. Bernt's pointer about dynamic filtering of an
existing agenda view works, of course, but I'm trying to have it start
out filtered.

Thanks!
