Hi Richard; Thanks for the help. This is a good example, I think, of how cryptic Emacs can be. I followed your first set of instructions exactly, but still had difficulty. When I put my "cursor over the variable name" and then hit C-h v, I did not get an option, I got this: Describe variable (default mail-user-agent) (mail-user-agent) Which, I think, just tells me what the variable is called. Probably this was due to the fact that I was just hovering over it in your post, as I was not able (as I said in my first post) to find this variable in customize. However, your tip got me thinking about a more general search, outside of org-customize. So, I just entered "customize" (which I have done before) and drilled my way down to where I found the variable. There I was able to set the option as you describe above. Emacs is a strange beast. Strong, old, canny. But very strange. Thanks for the help. Cheers. Ross -- Ross A.
