Don't show future TODO items in the agenda

Don't show future TODO items in the agenda

[mrigetitdone]

Hi,

I have a bunch of TODO items, each with a timestamp, which I would like to not being displayed in the agenda if the day of their timestamp/schedule is in the future.
Is there a special property that I can attach to these TODO items which achieves what I want?

Can you share an example of .org file along with the custom agenda
command (or the default agenda view) you are using?

Hi Mark and Bastien,

I have also been interested in this sort of functionality.  This message 
made me dig a little and I think it's covered by the following:

   (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future)

Basically, a global TODO list, but don't tell me about stuff that isn't 
due yet.

...cj

Sorry, I am on the road and have no access to my org files. I use the default agenda M-o a a, and regular entries.

This could be one of my entries.

*** TODO make backups
SCHEDULED: <2012-07-21 Sat .+10d>

I want to show this item in my agenda only if this task is either due or overdue. When I generate a agenda starting from today, spawning two weeks, I do not want to be reminded that I'd need to take backups in 7 days. I only want to be reminded if I actually have to make backups today.

As Christopher J. White suggested:

(setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future)
