Create recurring emails directly from a task with mailto: URLs

fabianhemmert says:
I often have recurring emails to send - remind my students to do X every semester, ask my landlord for report Y, and the likes.

I use RTMs URL field in recurring tasks for that.

Clicking "mailto:" links in the URL field, my computer will open a ready-to-send (or tweak) email with a preset recipient, subject and content. Just what I need!

You will find plenty of tools on the web to turn recipient, subject and body into a mailto:-link.

Hope this helps!

Hi fabianhemmert,

This is an excellent (and creative!) use of the URL field. You're this week's Tips & Tricks Tuesday winner, and we've added a free year of Pro to your Remember The Milk account. :) Your tip is featured on our blog. Thanks for sharing!
