bug or missing feature in undone repeating todos?

[Wes Hardaker]

I have a bunch of todos that I like to do "about every other day" so I
do this:

  * TODO foo
    SCHEDULED: <2008-10-17 Fri +2d>

The problem comes when I missed the date on Friday and am looking at my
agenda on Monday.  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 my agenda, his entry does show on Monday, as overdue for one day.

Ahh...  the entries I have are straight stamps, not scheduled items.  IE

  * TODO foo <2008-10-17 Fri +2d>

I'll go fix that; thanks!

????? The example you had in your mail was:

Yep.  You're right that I blew the example and realized what the issue
was after reading your response.  See, you helped!
