Hi Carsten,

this is maybe a misunderstanding. I already use a lot of the custom agenda views.
Example:

...
        ("d" agenda "X-Agenda 0 days deadline preview"
         ((org-deadline-warning-days 0))
         nil
         ("~/org/agenda0.txt"))
...

having a todo with a

DEADLINE: <2007-09-07 Fr -5d>

this one will show up as:

 CATEGORY:      In   4 d.:  TODO ....

I do not want this one to appear because my custom org-deadline-warning-days is 0.
Did I misunderstand you or is this a bug?
