emailing tasks: have rmilk ignore subject and instead get task name from body
jef says:
Hello,
I have imported a task to my RMilk via email. The subject line had text, but I did not change it because I did not want Gmail (my email service) to break the conversation thread. I added the task's name/title in the body.
In a line by itself, I had something like this...
Task: Call Bob
But when the task appeared in my Rmilk, the task name was not "Call Bob". Rather, the task name was the email's subject line.
Please help.
1) I don't want to break gmail's conversation view by changing subject line in gmail
2) I want to specify the task name in the email's body.
How can I do 1) and 2) together?

Hi jef,
This should work as you describe. Since it's not, something else may be happening. Usually this is a problem with the parsing not working.
A few general suggestions:
* Separate properties like the task's name from the rest of the email with ---
* End any content you want picked up with -end-
* Check out our email service page for some more examples.
Hope this helps!
