Does anyone have a good solution for setting up a reusable template (aka stationery) in Gmail for RTM entries? I'd like to set up something like this:
Task:
List:
Priority:
Due:
Repeat:
Estimate:
Tags:
Location:
URL:
-end-
Move note sections above end for use
---
Note 1 header
Note 1 body
---
Note 2 header
Note 2 body
Then you could just fill out the needed sections and send it along. Any ideas?

says:The simplest method that comes to mind would be to save the text you have above as a draft, and then copy and paste it it into a new message each time you use it.
A more elegant method would be to use an autotyping program to plunk down the framework for you, a la...

Is that sort of what you were after, or have I missed your question?

I've never seen the point of the gmail to rtm? I mean if you can access your gmail account then surely you can access RTM too? Or am I missing the point here?

Speaking of this extension, the properties are not coming out on separate lines on my email. Is anyone else having that problem

says: graham.reeds - Here's why I use email to get stuff to RTM. I use a Treo with Goodlink emial client. I've assigned a treo hard key to bring up a prepouplated email with the following:
Subject line - the task
List: work
Priority: 1
Due: today

I can quicly edit the fields to susotmize as needed and then fire off an email. While I could log inot RTM and do the same, this is the quickest means I have found for getting stuff in there. Also, in a pinch if I don't have time, I can save my email in draft form and finsh/send it when I get a break.

The non-formatted display has been brought to my attention. If you want the quick workaround, switch to plain-text entry in gmail and it's good to go (that's my default anyway, which is why never noticed the problem in the first place). I don't really have the javascript skills to make it work in the rich-text version, although it can't be that difficult. Any javascript pros out there?
