This is clearly something related to my own preferred method of time and task management rather than something I would expect anyone to agree with. Having said that the remember interface is, I think, about allowing you to make a note very quickly whilst concentrating on some other task. In this case what I would like to do is automatically capture the TODO item with a deadline of today (the day I make the note). This forces the item immediately onto my agenda and then becomes something I should deal with. By this I mean I have to deal with the note today, *not* its implied content. At some point in the day I put aside time to go through these "remembered notes" and sort them out: quickly return a call, pass on the action elsewhere, re-schedule to a realistic date, copy off to another org file that is dealing with the issue, re-consider or re-draft a more appropriate action etc.... > 1. modify the remember mechanism, basically giving the user more rope, > for example along these lines: > - by setting a default template that could contain current time > stamps etc. > - calling a hook before and after you edid the remember entry, > booth hooks could be > used to modify the entry > - Invoke org-mode for that buffer and install a special key (C-c > C-c) to get out and file the entry.

This similar to what I currently do using a home brewed mixture of standard Emacs bookmark functionality and escreen (to stop messing up whatever window configuration I happen to have running). Not pretty though. Would personally prefer something along the lines of 1.
