    Well, that would flag all of my entries.  I'm not sure I would
want all the extra info, since for me it would be repetitive.  I have
been trying to think of a good suggestion for easily manipulating what
goes into an agenda view.  I think a format string using property info
might go a long way.  I can think of a good way to get what you are
after.  Maybe if there was an implicit property for a heading like
HAS_BODY.
    In any case, I don't think it is that uncommon to have todo
heading with body info and I know I would be annoyed by a feature like
this if I couldn't turn it off.  I think there is a more
general/flexible feature that could implement this waiting to be
thought up.
