Re: [Orgmode] [org-feed] Remember the Milk - active timestamps

Hi Sven, how is the appointment time visible in the RTM stream?

[Orgmode] [org-feed] Remember the Milk - active timestamps
Hi list-members Today, I configured org-feed to catch RSS feeds from RTM. For Appointments I wrote a template that was intended to convert RTM-schedules to org timestamps (i.e. the date of the appointment). :template * APPT %title\n %T This doesn't work, because what is converted by %T is not the schedule but the creation date of the RTM-entry. Has anybody solved this problem? Greetings, Sven ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
