Do you want me to work on this? BTW I think letting "%!" in `org-log-note-headings' would still be useful. For example, if someone uses "#+STARTUP: lognotedone", then any switch to a DONE state will require a note, no matter whether there is a "@" cookie appended at the end of the DONE state or not. In this case, I guess some people would find it useful to put "%!" in the 'done cell of `org-log-note-headings'. What do you think? Would that be too much or a bit redundant? -- Bastien
