Is this the way it should be? The first DEADLINE: shows up both as a warning and on the due date in the agenda, but the second one does not. It only works for me if the DEADLINE: is the first line after the heading. Version 9, emacs 24 *** test 1 DEADLINE: <2016-11-19 Sat> *** test 2 DEADLINE: <2016-11-19 Sat> Thanks, Alan -- Alan L Tyree http://austlii.edu.au/~alan Tel: 04 2748 6206 sip:typhoon@iptel.org
