Hi Bastien,

Here is my custom agenda section. I'd like to have the DEADLINE and the REFILE only show up if items exist in those sections, not when they are empty. Actually, I guess I'd like this for all sections.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands

'(("c" "My Custom Agenda"

(

(tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))

(tags-todo "+DEADLINE<=\"<+3d>\""

(

(org-agenda-overriding-header "Deadline <= 3 Days")

))

(tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<\"<tomorrow>\""

(

(org-agenda-overriding-header "Scheduled Today")

))

(todo "INPROGRESS" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "In Progress")))

(todo "WAITING|VERIFY" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Waiting or Verify")))

(agenda "" (

(org-agenda-overriding-header "Scheduled")

(org-deadline-warning-days 0)

))

(todo "SOMEDAY" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Someday")))

(tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))

) nil ("org.txt" "org.html" "org.ics"))))

So you are using agenda blocks, right?

Please post the skeleton of your custom agendas so that we can better
understand.

Thanks,
