Hi Matt, If I may, I think org-ql can help you here. It should also work much faster than org-map-entries, because it can skip to entries with the desired to-do keywords (although you could also use the MATCH argument to org-map-entries to improve its speed). Try this function (untested): #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (cl-defun org-lms-return-all-assignments-ql (&optional (send-all nil) (also-mail nil) (post-to-lms t)) "By default mail all subtrees 'READY' to student recipients, unless SEND-ALL is non-nil. In that case, send all marked 'READY' or 'TODO'." (interactive) (message "Mailing all READY subtrees to students") (let ((todo-keywords (if send-all '("READY" "TODO") '("READY")))) (org-ql-select (current-buffer) `(todo ,@todo-keywords) :action `(ol-send-just-one ,also-mail ,post-to-lms)))) #+END_SRC
