As I've described it somewhere before I use it (and SCHEDULED) for sending messages to myself in the future. The DEADLINE means to me: You've got to finish this job before certain time. But don't worry about it if it is not org-deadline-close *now*, you won't find it on your todo list too. SCHEDULED means more or less the same except that there is no date I should complete the job before and I put -SCHEDULED>="" in all my filters. For example I've sent send the announcement yesterday, changed the the keyword to WAITING and put "SCHEDULED: <2010-02-13 sob>". Then if I wouldn't have found your reply in my inbox by Saturday I would see the WAITING item on my todo list. This is kind of artificial limb util someone writes org-reality-depend.el. I haven't decided yet how to cope with all this conditions on a timed agenda view. -- Miłego dnia, Łukasz Stelmach
