One argument against changing the headlne marker was interoperability: Share org files with others, use other tools to manipulate org files. Interoperability is a product of rules/formats/protocols. Email is a plain text protocol too, but some headers are required for interoperability. It wouldn't make sense for instance for me to use my freedom to create/change headers arbitrary, "and to have my emails look just the way I want them to". E.g. to use german words Betreff, Datum, An, Von instead of Subject, Date, To, From, only because I can --> no mail transport agent would handle this plain text file. Regards, Gregor
