Since you asked: put the descriptions first. The links I store are fairly complicated: they bring up a virtual folder containing all the messages in the thread of the message I just sent, with the message itself selected. I'm sure the descriptions don't show up at all because they get pushed off the right edge of the window. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
