Subjet line of e-mail reminders
jfch says:
The Remember the Milk e-mail reminder subject line is always the same and not particular descriptive.
Shouldn't the task title be put into the e-mail subject?
The real problem for me is that in email apps like Gmail that thread conversations, all my reminders are treated as a single conversation. It reduces the usefulness of the e-mail reminder.
Each e-mail reminder subject line should be more unique! Please add the task title to the e-mail subject!

amen brother. seconded!

Reminder emails can contain multiple tasks.
Gmail should really not thread based on subject, since that rarely makes sense.
I may add a "(Sent on x)" to the email subject, which should be unique.

Hi Omar
Sorry, but I can't let this one lie. lease compare what I get from Backpack and RTM in my inbox:
-= Backpack - Reminder: Kayak followup.....
-= Remember The Milk Reminder - Remember The Milk Reminder: Hi there, this is your friendly Remember The Milk.....
Nothing about the days tasks is visible at first scan at all! I understand that RTM reminders can contain multiple tasks, but how about streamlining it just a little to get rid of some RTM redundancy:
From: Remember The Milk
Subject: Reminder - 2 tasks due tomorrow, 27 Dec
Body: 1. Make the ARM front page I promised I would 2. XMAS: drop AIR walkie talkie CD to John

What do you think?

Adam, I'll bump this one up on our to-do list -- what you've suggested definitely makes sense :)

I too was surprised by the uninformative subject line until I recieved a multiple reminder and then understood the 'problem'. Ideally a single reminder would have the task name as the subject but it's not obvious what should appear in the case of multiple reminders in a single email. Adski's suggestion is the best (well only) suggestion so far.
Happy New Year and thanks for the service.
