Web Form to Set Due Date

johnfoland says:
Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I've setup a webform to email tasks to my inbox. Everything works perfectly, except for some reason it's putting the 'Due' date in the 'Notes' and not the 'Due' field, even after some manipulation to the form mailer code. I've tried both "Due:" and "D:" Below is the email body (verbatim) that gets sent to RTM (between the lines of underscores).

Due: Today

Notes: Test test test test test test test test test

Submit: Send task to John's RTM Inbox

Got it!

Apart from the typo above, the trick is to finish your email with 3 hyphens. These should be just below the tags like so, no blank lines

.. and the rest of your email gets added as a note, although you can terminate this early by adding -end- on its own on a line.

(so I meant to say 'the trick is to end the tag section' instead of 'the trick is to finish your email'.)
