My messages arive, but all of the details inside aren't picked up. I am not sure if it has to do with having html based emails or something else.
I have tried 4 times and they all end up in my inbox with the format details (Priority:, Due:, etc.) as the first note. I really hope this can be fixed.

Further testing shows that it may be due to trying to forward a message.
When sending a new message it works as documented. To further test I have tried forwarding a message from gmail, which works as expected (forwarded mail is a note).
However, copying and pasting the text from the outlook email and sending it as a new email from gmail also doesn't work. I'll test some more.

Sorry for the annoying posts. I have copied the message into gmail and converted it into plain text and then it worked.
When converting from html I find that I am getting a number of spaces between the task details (due:, priority:, etc) and the value. There are also additional spaces after each detail. So maybe this has more to do with it.

heathweaver, if you're still experiencing problems, please feel free to send an example to [old address removed] -- we can check into it and see why it's not being processed correctly. Thanks!
heathweaver says:
Wow, you respond fast.
I have sent you the email I am sending to create an task. After testing some other things it really seems to be an issue caused by using Outlook's HTML formatting.
