User-friendly email address

jckos says:

While I can easily store the email address for my inbox in an outlook contact, other people might not be able to rememeber.

It would be great to have the user id map to the email address so if I want to send somthing directly to someone else's list from email it's easier to remember.

Careful what you ask for. :)

While it probably would be easy for Omar to make the email addresses to be based on the user name (jckos@rememberthemilk.com), it would also make you easier to spam. Allowing users to set their own email address would lead to naming conflicts. Tricky issue.

We just want to make sure you don't end up receiving spam into your tasks inbox :)

As a kludge, if I or others email me anything at my regulat home account with RTMRTM in the body of the message, the message is auto-forwarded to RTM, so can tell a select few people who can put up with this kludge to email me what they wish, and then I still get the task added in RTM.
