Reminder email title

mahinirb Pro says:

I know I'm sorta wasting my time suggestion ideas here now, but for reminder emails with one task, I think the title of the email should be the title of the task. Much better "ding" reminder than the generic email title that requires us to open up the email.

Plus, the date stamp in the title seems superfluous to me -- that information is in the email already and I don't need a reminder of what day it is.

This is current: "Reminders for Thu, April 16, 2009, 9:30AM (4 tasks)"
Something like this: "RTM Reminder at 9:30AM: Take out the trash"
For multiple tasks: "RTM Reminder at 4:00PM: 4 tasks inside"

For mobile users, sometimes you only get the one shot at looking at your email inbox before you lose service in places.

I totally agree! It would be great if at the individual task level you were able to choose if you wanted reminders and then set a time or multiples times. You would then get emailed the task name as the subject name (I like mahinirb's suggestion) and any other info, such as notes, would be within the body of the email. As it stands I get those overview emails but I personally think they are close to pointless.

I too would love to have the subject of email reminders for a single task to be the name of the task. It would make my workflow so much easier.

This idea is considered similar to "Option to have the task name as the email subject (one task per reminder email)", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
