Dear all,

please allow me to follow up on this mail with the question of how
this is really done.

I had the same problem and studied that thread, but still I have no
idea of what to put into the BIRTHDAY field of an org-contact. It must
be something like

:BIRTHDAY: %%(=E2=80=A6)

but what expression do I have to use? I tried something like
%%(org-date 2011 08 22), but that does not work (same error: "Bad
sexp")

Cheers, and thanks in advance for any help,

Christoph
