Adding task via sms message.

daniel.harms says:
I've noticed that if I send an sms message to my inbox address with this in the body:

t: pick up milk
d: tomorrow

It creates a task titles "pick up milk" that is due the next day. What other information can I add in this format? The ability to add tasks on the go is the only thing that keeps me here! I've never been the type to be able to use a scrap of paper or even a dedicated program/website without my phone.

Have you tried the e-mail tags:

How to format your email
The subject should be the task name.
The body can include any of the following (or can be empty):
Priority: 1 or P: 1
Due: Monday at 9am or D: Monday at 9am
Repeat: Every Week or R: Every Week
Estimate: 2 hours or E: 2 hours
Tags: report coffee or S: report coffee
Location: Home or O: Home
URL: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ or U: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/

By default, your task will appear in your Inbox. If you want the task to appear in a different list, you can do so with the following:

List: Work or L: Work

Optionally, if you're unable to specify the subject of your email, you can use the following to specify the task name:

Task: Weekly work meeting or T: Weekly work meeting

Notes can be included at the bottom of the email, but need to be separated with '---'.

If your email automatically contains a signature or disclaimer that you'd like to prevent being converted into a note, you can include '-end-' on a line by itself, and everything after this line will be ignored.

Example email
Subject: Weekly work meeting
To: [Your Remember The Milk email address]

Priority: 1
Due: Monday at 9am
Repeat: Every Week
Estimate: 2 hours
Tags: report coffee
