Reminders and overdue tasks

rickybuchanan says:

I have the reminder set to email me nightly about the next day's tasks. But I would like to be reminded about any overdue tasks in the same email.

I don't think it would be difficult to code :)

Thanks for the suggestion -- this sounds like it would be useful.

We'll consider making it an option for reminders.

This would indeed be very useful. In fact, overdue tasks often are even more urgent than the due today/tomorrow, since, well, since they are overdue :-) I have seen this issue raised in several threads. What's the current implementation status? PS I love your stuff. I have tried many task managers, PIMs and to do-tools over the years, this is the first one that seems to 'naturally' meet my needs. Keep up the great work!

Me too.

Although I seem to manage to take care of my really important tasks before they become overdue, the little things that didn't-quite-get-done-today seem to have a habit of going overdue and being forgotten.

An option to have overdue items included in the daily reminder would be great.

And speaking of overdue, I think the mobile version would also benefit from an overdue list in the default menu. Here's what I suggest - any takers?

My Tasks
----------
0) Overdue (x)
1) Today (x)
2) Tomorrow (x)
... and so on.

This idea is considered similar to "Option to receive reminders for overdue tasks", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
