Thanks for replying. I tried that before as well... Restarted emacs and C-c C-c on the line. I think I figured out what's going on... it may be a bug!
If I have this simple file: #+SEQ_TODO: TODO WAITING | PUBLISHED REJECTED * PUBLISHED test DEADLINE: <2009-12-05 Sat> it works! (It doesn't show up in the agenda.) However, if I put the completed TODO item under a subheading, it stops working! The following simple file doesn't work: #+SEQ_TODO: TODO WAITING | PUBLISHED REJECTED * [2009-12-05 Sat] ** PUBLISHED test DEADLINE: <2009-12-05 Sat> The test TODO item shows up in the agenda. Is this a bug? I'm using Emacs 23.0.0.1 on Windows and whatever version of org-mode that came with it -- 5.03b On Fri, 4 Dec 2009 17:00:17 +0100 Carsten Dominik <carsten.domi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi U, > > my guess is that you did type these keyword but that you did not > update the internal keyword lists by restarting Emacs, or by > pressing `C-c C-c' on the line. > > - Carsten > > On Dec 4, 2009, at 4:01 PM, U Avalos wrote: > > > Someone suggested I use the variable > > org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done.
