Re: Emacspeak and org mode

[Bart Bunting <bart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Not immediately  noticing this.

I'm running pretty much the latest org-mode and emacs is a couple of
months old I think.

I tried the note feature and it works for me.

I'll try and upgrade things and see if it breaks as described.


Kind regards

Bart
