[OT] But on a related note, Org-mode version 7.8.09 ^^^^^^ Try the below form. (version-list-= (version-to-list "7.8.09") (version-to-list "7.8.9")) To a human, 7.8.09 != 7.8.9. But to Emacs, they are just the same. I wish Org used version strings, that are Emacs-compatible. Just a minor complaint. > Regards, > Achim. --
