Smart Add via email doesn't seem to be working
lohroffc says:
I sent an email to my rtm address with an empty subject (wanting it to go into my inbox) and the following message in the body:
get the milk ^today
I was expecting to end up with a task in my inbox with a title of "get the milk" with a due date of today.
What I got was an unnamed task in my inbox with a note "get the mile ^today".
FWIW... It also seems to be treating the subject as the task name rather than the list name.
I do have Smart Add turned on in my settings.
Also, I tried the following example (from the email help page):
Buy birthday present for Mike today
Pay the phone bill tomorrow
Make dentist appointment on Tuesday #errand
Pick up the milk tomorrow @Supermarket
I ended up with a single unnamed task with the above text as a note.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't yet have a pro account. Is this the problem?

There are 2 emails:
The "import" one will add multiple tasks (one task per line in the email body) to the list in the subject.
The other one will add one task, with the email subject as the task name, and you can set options in the body.
Looks like you used the second one. They're both useful, depends on what you need to do.

Aha! I was indeed NOT using the import address. I am now using the import address and it's working perfectly. Thanks!
