emailing forwarding messages

dgknox says:
more than half of my "tasks" come to me via email. I've used Sandy to forward messages to sandy saying simply
"Remind me tuesday at 3:00p:

And presto it works

HOWEVER with RTM forward an email and I tack on a
DUE: Tuesday at 3:00 pm

And the task/email arrives in my inbox with no due date?

I've tried both the "email" address and "import" email address with no satisfaction.

Is there a way to forward full email to RTM and have it at the very least pull a due date?

If you'd like the forwarded email treated as a note, you'd need to add the notes separator after specifying the due date.

You can separate with:

---

(three hyphens)

More details on emailing in are available here.

One other thing that may be worth checking is whether your email has a signature or a disclaimer at the end -- if so, after the tasks details you'll need to include '-end-' on a line by itself, and everything after this line will be ignored (otherwise there may be some problems processing the task details).

Hope this helps!
