Yes, this is probably the best approach (and thanks for the actual elisp code which is nice and succinct!). I do still wonder at the need for the extra level of complexity introduced by the visibility attribute, especially given that the checkboxes only line up if none of them is of the type [-]... Anyway, I've put this code in my config!

Re: [Orgmode] problem with mime conversion for emails
Hi Eric, An easy fix may be using the `org-mime-html-hook' to post-process the html, the following (untested) should be sufficient. --8<---cut here---start->8--- (add-hook 'org-mime-html-hook (lambda () (replace-regexp (regexp-quote "X") " "))) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- To me, this seems easier than having an email-specific export target.

[Orgmode] problem with mime conversion for emails
Hello, I am hoping somebody can suggest a workaround for a simple problem with org-mime. Specifically, I am in charge of a project in which I need to email around a to do list with checkboxes. I have been using PDF export for this and this works perfectly fine. However, given the existence of org-mime, I thought this would remove a step from those reading my emails. The problem is that the HTML conversion for checkbox lists uses the construct : X (generated on line 1765 of org-html.el) to fill in the checkboxes for items *not* done. Unfortunately, the visibility attribute is ignored by some email readers, with /Gmail/ being one of the prominent guilty ones. This makes my todo lists look like everything is already done and we can all go home early! How I wish this were true... ;-) The whole reason for the use of the visibility attribute, I assume, is to line entries up. I am happy to do some post-processing on the HTML output but I think a better solution may be to do this export differently. Does anybody have any suggestions? Would replacing the X in the above with be good enough?
