Thanks, I tried it out and it seems to work. Hopefully it will be useful for others too. Another thing I've been meaning to ask: org-capture-mode-hook seems to be triggered twice, why is that? It was also present in the previous version of org that I used, 7.8.02 and I can confirm now it's there in the latest git version also. If it's not a bug but a desired feature can I disable it from running twice? I'd like to attach some code to it and getting the results twice is slightly annoying. Regards, Kalev
