I configured org-remember-templates to use a= file named "project.todo" to hold todo entries for me.=A0
(setq org-remember-templates
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 ("Project&quo= t; ?p "* TODO %?\n %u"=A0 "~/org/project.todo" bottom )= ))

I hadn't added the .todo extension to the auto-mode-alist so when it was loaded to be written to by the org-remember-handler, it came up by default in fundamental-mode, not org-mode.

This generates an erro= r condition that I tracked down in the org-remember.el file to line 887 in = the org-remember-handler function:

=A0((not (org-mode-p))
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 (if (eq heading 'top)=
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 (goto-char (point-min))
=A0=A0=A0 =A0= =A0=A0 =A0 (goto-char (point-max))
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0 (or (bolp) (n= ewline)))
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 (insert text-before-node-creation)=A0=A0= =A0
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 .......


The error is that text-before-node-creation apparently is a nil and the insert routine is generating an error because of it.=A0 This variable is set earlier in the handler at around line 845 but only if the text being inserted does not look like an org-outline-regexp:

=A0 (unless (looking-at org-outline-regexp)
=A0=A0=A0 ;; add a headl= ine
=A0=A0=A0 (setq text-before-node-creation (buffer-string))

Be= cause my template actually does look like an org-outline-regexp (it starts with "* TODO"), that variable is never set and because the buffer= is not in org-mode, this code is triggered using the text-buffer-node-creation.

The simple work around was to add .todo files to the auto-mode-alist (or I could have changed the template), but I thought I would post a note about it.
