I like the out-of-the-box to-do list, except one thing: I would like to see the items' deadlines. The weekly agenda view shows the deadlines, but I need a view where I can see *only* to-do items and their deadlines. I read in the manual about creating custom agenda views, and I see a lot about defining custom searches, but it isn't obvious (to me) how to customize the display of an existing search. I also checked M-x customize-group for agenda options, to do display options and line format, but I don't see anything self-evident. (I don't want to make a custom time-grid view searching only todos: I want the todos displayed in *priority* order, just, if there's a deadline, show it.) I'm quite busy and I have approximately 5 more minutes to devote to this, so if somebody could send me a simple way to add deadlines to the to-do list, I'd be much obliged. Thanks.
