And since the philosophy of Org is to build up use from simple to complex, I don't want to change this. Also, I fail to see how this would help the proble you describe above. On the other hand, you can define with a template that will interactively prompt you for a tag, so that you can make this decision when starting remember. - Carsten > > a note would be > > * foo bar > :TYPE: > NOTE > :END: > > etc. > > A default entry would have a special entry type -say UNKNOWN- > thus making the review much more trustable.
