I'd like it to show that I'm overdue on that instance of the task (since I didn't complete it Friday). The next week, however, it doesn't show it on the agenda until Tuesday. IMHO, if today is beyond the date of a repeating todo it should be shown today regardless of the repeat setting until I reset the date by marking it done (and having it autoskip forward). (Actually, while I'm at it is there a way to get it to autoskip 2 days from today rather than 2 days from the date in the stamp?) -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
