I agree. I'm new here from the former iWantSandy and I like to see the subject containing the, well, subject of the reminder.

Hi again,

Just re-read this post and have to apologise for being a total Nazi. "Do this, do that!" Dear me.

I was pretty peeved about iwantsandy shutting down suddenly and it looks like it came out in my prose. Hope it didn't rattle anyone too much.

Meekly yours,

Dougal

Just want to add my vote for this.
Unfortunately, I see this is not a very popular post so there may not be enough demand to implement it.

I also get reminders from Backpack and the one thing I really like about them is that the task IS the subject of the reminder.

I hope someone picks this up.

Big, big +1

I know that the reminder emails sometimes contain multiple tasks, which poses a problem -- but I would prefer one email per task anyway -- that way I can delete the individual email when the individual task is complete. Some people may like the way it is, so it could be a user choice:

__ Combined reminders: 1 email reminder containing all tasks due that day

__ Individual reminders: 1 email reminder per task, with the task name in the subject

The task name should be first in the subject line, or nearly so -- for example:

RTM Reminder: Wash the car - Sat April 4 @ 10 am

This would be especially awsome for mobile phones.. right now my phone pings me when reminder e-mails come in (IMAP). However, only the subject is shown and I need to download the body to see what the task is.

Reminders for multiple tasks could just say "RTM: Multiple tasks" or similar.

Thanks for the great product!

Ditto:

[ ] 1 email per task
[ ] task name as subject

This is my single BIGGEST complaint with RTM. Show me the task name in the subject of the email. Otherwise the email is just useless, and is driving to find another service. Please change this. If the excuse is "what about multiple tasks due at the same time" Send EACH task as email. As it is now, I have to set my tasks due 5 min apart from each other to get them in one email each.

Yes yes yes - big vote for this! The emails would be sooo much more useful.

+1, actually +10

+100000
I want to switch from Highrise for my tasks, but this is the biggest impediment.
This would be really easy to implement and would make RTM way more useful.

+100000 from me.

Why there are no new features for a long time? (Yes. the Android-App is new and awesome, but nothing new in browser)

Can this small request not be implemented? Please please!!!

This is the most useful enhancement that RTM could make. It should be the top priority!

Another +1 here.

It would be great if we could create our own custom subject line (ie. one that applies to all of our reminders, not a different one for each task).

We could use a combination text plus some standard fields such as <>, <>, <>, <>, <>, etc.

Then we can make the subject line of our reminders as short or as long as we need depending on our email service, screen size, etc.

Sorry, that last message got messed up due to some characters your discussion system didn't like.

The fields I was thinking of would be things like "short date", "long date", "task name", "time", "day", etc.

This is the one thing I've waited years for with RTM.
