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"))))
I think the vertical bar placement is your problem, from the manual:
"The vertical bar separates the TODO keywords (states that need action)
from the DONE states (which need no further action)."
Try this:
'((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE" "CANCELLED"))
Regards,
Jason
It works! Thank you, and John who was almost as quick in his reply :)
Chris.
