Ok. So some people have had trouble with importing their tasks by email into rememberthemilk, including me.
Here are some of those:

Yahoo mail is the answer.
the problem is that many email services and clients wrap text by default after 72 characters.
Unfortunately this wrapping turns one task into two :(
This is the case in gmail and surprisingly gmail seems to have no option to change word wrap... :(
I searched help and the forums and no one had an answer. I tried a couple of workarounds. Nothing.
Then I logged into my old yahoo account and sent it and it worked.
Hope this is helpful to someone

Sadly, when I tried this today it did not work anymore. Has anyone else gotten this to work recently (November 2010).

Ah, it turns out you have to switch Yahoo mail back to Yahoo Classic (sent in plain text mode) in order to get around the 72 character auto-wrap. It's under Options in the top right corner.
I would still like to see an on-website form for import so we don't have to hack a workaround.
Has anyone else found a modern webmail client that works with the Import e-mail function?
