Re: [PATCH] agenda: Consider FILETAGS for archive skipping

[George Sokolsky <sokolgeo@posteo.net>]

Thank you very much Kyle for the patch you provided!

I had to apply it manually on the latest org-20200518 (line numbers
changed in this new version or me too lame) - the patch seem to fix the
below problem and works just fine!

IMHO using "#+FILETAGS: ARCHIVE" is one of legitimate ways of applying
ARCHIVE tag to items in org. As such I'd love the below patch included
into the official org distribution. I'm trying to add Bastien into
recepients of this e-mail - or could anyone please help with commiting
the below code into the org repository?

Thank you,
George
