Dye" Cc: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Hi Thomas, Lists depend entirely on indentation. Sidenote: For long mails and similar texts I use a drawer: (setq org-drawers (quote ("PROPERTIES" "CLOCK" "PHONE" "EMAIL" "REMAIL" "HIDDEN" "LOGBOOK"))) :EMAIL: and :REMAIL: are the ones I use for mails from and to customers.
