Excluding DONE todo items from the agenda

Excluding DONE todo items from the agenda

[Robert Pluim]

Hi,

is there a way to not show TODO items that are DONE in the agenda view
('C-aa') by default? It seems I have them showing up because they have a
deadline, but when they're done, that doesn't matter anymore :)

Thanks

Robert

Whilst investigating this, I noticed the following, which I suspect
counts as obvious enough that I won't have to sign anything :)

And I've now found:
    org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done
which works perfectly.

It must be time for lunch, I didn't see that in my apropos search.
