Re: [Orgmode] org-read-date-prefer-future 'time doesn't always prefer future

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi PT,

I have tried to fix this, and hopefully it will not break something  
else.
Could you please do some testing?

Also, everybody else, please keep an eye out if this change does break  
the date
reading function in any way.

Thanks!

- Carsten
