Matt,
Thanks for your suggestions.
The problem with the sparse tree is that a sparse tree will only show the
headlines above the item with a deadline, it will not show the sibling
headlines. For example, if I used a sparse tree on:
* Fruit
** Apple
*** Macintosh
*** Crab
DEADLINE: <2010-04-28 Wed>
*** Golden delicious
** Vegetable
*** lettuce
*** squash
*** cucumber
It would look like
* Fruit
*** Crab
DEADLINE: <2010-04-28 Wed>
