But, as I said, it isn't a big deal. I don't quite understand this, are you saying when I yank text into an org buffer it converts any random time stamp like information into proper org format timestamps? So if I were to kill the following text from some buffer, some random time stamp 2011/10/07 and yank it into an org buffer, it will be converted to some random time stamp <2011-10-07> I have been using org for quite sometime, but I don't think there is any such feature. And if there was, I would say that's too intrusive to assume I want every time information to be stored as timestamps. Or on the other hand, do you mean that the text doesn't change but the text face does? I would think that is a fontlocking issue. If I am misunderstanding, could you please illustrate with a small example? Thanks, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
