Re: [Orgmode] Re: Bug with org-startup-folded?

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi, Carsten,

After some more trials, I think I found the cause of the problem. I have 
a line like this in my org configuration:

;; add today's appointment into alert list, every day at 0:30AM
(run-at-time "0:30am" (* 24 3600) 'org-agenda-to-appt)

I expect with the above, org-agenda-to-appt will run once a day 
automatically at 0:30AM. But, it seems that org-agenda-to-appt runs 
right after emacs start up, and this command opens a buffer for every 
org files in my org-agenda-files, without any folding. So, when I 
thought I was opening an org file for the first time, actually emacs 
just switches to the existing buffer for that file, and gives an 
illusion that the first time the folding does not work, but the second 
time the folding works.

Thank you for you and Bastien for your help on this.
