Adding tasks via email forces smart add parsing
peter.mcalpine says:
I have smart add disabled - I sometimes add tasks like "talk to alex about the feb 5 meeting" and it sets the due date to feb 5 which is not what I want.
When I add tasks via the website smart add is disabled as I expect and want, but when I email my private RTM email address it parses the subject smart-add-style.
I would expect that if I disable smart add that emails would not be parsed as though it were enabled.

I'll add: if smart add were to only use the ^/#/etc flags to set task attributes I would enable it. I don't trust the computer to parse my chicken-scratch-emails correctly, and the risk of missing a task because the due date gets set incorrectly is unacceptable for me.

I've added this to our list to investigate. In the meantime, you can surround your task name in quotation marks, e.g. "talk to alex about the feb 5 meeting" (Keep the quotation marks).
Sorry for any inconvenience!
