I'm using C-c C-e a with Org 7.8.11. > If you customize org-e-ascii (yourself), it is possible that you can > generate the box programmatically on export and not have it in your Org > file. > > How is the status generated - programmatically or otherwise? Sorry, my post was obviously confusing. I just added the box in the posting using Emacs's rebox. By the footer I just meant this bit: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- at the end of the file. If by status you mean the 'current' tag, I just set it by hand when I add a new message or remove it if I think the message is too old.
