Ability to respond to reminder emails to complete, postpone, etc

patrick.nickles Pro says:

I've been assuming this would be forthcoming for a long time but since it hasn't arrived I'll make a public request:

PLEASE give me the ability to POSTPONE tasks by simply hitting REPLY then "P" then SEND to an IM / Email rec'd from RTM. (Google already does this when you reply to an IM about Movie showtimes, etc.)

My RTM inbox is regularly overflowing w/ completed tasks just because I don't have time to go in and complete tasks all the time. And being able to just type "P: 30 minutes" would be invaluable. (Right now I have to FWD the reminder to my RTM account and set up another reminder if i want it to pop up again 4 hours or 4 days later.

Not too efficient...

Just my 2 cents. Time to go clean the 1,100 old overdue items from my inbox. (Who am I kidding... I'm not going to get to it today...)

This would be an invaluable addition to RTM like what I had with Dear old Sandy.

agree as well. Just starting to use RTM and thought it would be optimal to complete or postphone a task simply be responding to the reminder

And with multiple reminders:

These 2 tasks are due in 15 minutes:
1. $40 to Bruce (9:00AM)
2. RSVP for Christmas Party (9:00AM)

Reply:
1. P: 1 day [Postpone]
2. C [Complete]

PLEASE. This would take it one step closer to the awesomeness that was IWantSandy.

I find it rather absurd that the emails don't even include a *link* to the task on the RTM website. In my opinion they should include a link for Postpone and Complete in the emails (Clicking a link would be easier than writing a reply, and would be easier to implement.

For text messages and IMs you should definitely include the 'Reply' option.
