I do not understand this one.

I'm looking for the combination of *all* of those conditions
in one agenda view. In other words, I want to see all the
NEXT items which are either unscheduled or due today; but I
don't want to see any items which are scheduled in the
future.

Carsten,

May I request some more pre-defined conditions when using
org-agenda-skip-* functions e.g. due and not due, optionally
accepting a date+time to compare against (using current date and
time as default)?  Hope this makes sense.

Hi Manish, I have not done so yet for the skipping mechanism. But I have just implemented time comparisons for property searches. For example:

 +DEADLINE<"<2008-07-01>"
 +DEADLINE>="<now>"
 +DEADLINE>"<today>"
 +SCHEDULED>="<2008-07-01>"+SCHEDULED<="<2008-07-05>"

I guess this should go a long way....

Thank you very much.

I have a question though:

,----[ from org.texi ]
| +If the comparison value is enclosed in double quotes @emph{and} angular | +brackets (like @samp{DEADLINE<="<2008-12-24 18:30>"}), both values are | +assumed to be date/time specifications in the standard Org [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +only special values that will be recognized are @samp{"<now>"} for now, and | [EMAIL PROTECTED]"<today"} today at 0:00 hours, i.e. without a time specification.}, and

`----

So when I say DEADLINE<="<today>" and if the deadline has a
timestamp ( < current time ), then it will not be listed.  Is my
understanding correct?  I wonder if "<today>" should not be
better pegged at 23:59 of today's date?

which would fail if you did DEADLINE>="<today>"

There is not good solution for this. <today> uses the date without a time, in order to provide for comparison with deadline dates that are only a date, not a time. If your deadlines have times associated with them, better use a date and time explicitly. I could provide yesterday and tomorrow, maybe....
