Hello,

a problem I have had for a long time is that agenda files are 
opened without =org-mode-hook= and =text-mode-hook= being 
processed.  This is a problem because I work within the agenda 
view all the time, writing notes by accessing entries from the 
agenda view.

If I open an org file directly, both hooks are executed just 
fine.  However, if I hit =RET= on an agenda view line, I get put 
into the org file, at the correct point, but without those hooks 
having been executed.  This means that the behaviour is different 
depending on how I ended up in the org file.

This is confusing!
 
The solution is to add the same processing to 
=org-agenda-after-show-hook= as is included in =text-mode=hook= 
and =org-mode=hook=.  This works.  However, it seems clumsy to me.

I just thought I'd highlight this as it took me a while to 
understand why Emacs was doing things differently in org files 
depending on how I got to them. 

Bastien: enjoy your two week break and don't you dare read this 
email before then! ;-)

Thanks,
eric

Because your are opening the org file for the first time, so org-mode
and text-mode are run along with the associated hooks.

Because the files are already opened (check this with C-x C-b) so
org-mode and text-mode are not run.

This is the way to go.  The idea is to have different hooks
when *opening* an org-mode file, and when *visiting* an entry
from the agenda, in a file that is already opened in Emacs.
