I want to include in my agenda only things that are TODO, or are

leave, and now something has changed and I am seeing lots of DONE
tasks which had a deadline -780 days ago.

I have tried removing all org customisations relating to the agenda
and todo list, and have read the agenda part of the manual, but I
can't get this to work.

You can use:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t)
(setq org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t)
(setq org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Jason,

thank you for the quick reply. I do have those variables set. I have now commented one by one every line in my org setup and customisation and found that the problem only occurs when customize includes the line:

'(org-todo-keywords (quote ((sequence "TODO" "DONE" "|" "CANCELLED"))))

This I set from within customize-variable, and appears to follow the description given for that variable. Perhaps it is clashing with something else, I will keep searching, but if you know of anything else that is possibly responsible I would be grateful.

Chris.
