Cannot specify due date anymore in task description

mas90guru says:
I used to be able to enter in tasks with the due date embedded in the description and I could swear that RTM picked it up and entered it in the due date.

Now no matter how hard I try I cannot get this to work.

Can't find it in the help file either.

I know this works via the Google extension -- however I am almost positive that for a periiod of time about a week ago it was working directly in RTM task entry.

For example:

Call mom on Friday
Call mom next Friday

When entered directly to RTM task list was appropriately scheduling the task with the date.

Now when I use those keywords the task comes through verbatim with no due date.

Anyone else noticing this?

It is my understanding that this feature has never been enabled for task entry on the RTM web site, despite repeated suggestions for years to establish some sort of functionality along these lines.

Sorry, it's currently only available for the Gmail feature and services such as Twitter. Hope this helps.
