Ability to specify contact methods for reminders based on lists
iambryan says:
My request is brought on by the fact that I have adopted the RTM in both my personal and professional lives.
Because I depend on my RTM reminders due to a very gnat like attention span, I would love to be able to have reminders sent to different locations based on their respective lists.
For instance, I would like to keep my personal notifications from being emailed to my work email (since my coworkers don't need to know that I have forgotten a prescription or have an upcoming deadline for a side contract :P ) and I don't need to get my work reminders in my personal communications.
Personally I see this as a logical extension of the excellent system already in place.
Thanks and Cheers

In four years, I can hardly count how many times this natural, entirely reasonable suggestion has been put forward. An incomplete list follows below. While there is a great Gcal workaround, it's too roundabout to imagine all new RTM users to set that up, and in the meantime the inadequate flexibility in the current reminder system is surely not helping to win any new users over.
Now that the multi-edit UI issues have been addressed here, I think that reminders may very well be the leading open issue in terms of site functionality here at RTM.
It would be great to see Bob turn his attention to this challenge. I think tags and smartlists lay a foundation for reminders that could be extremely powerful for the end user without being that hard to code.
