Emailing Tasks with Due Dates and List names
rhauer says:
When I email a task I use D: for due date and L: for list. It used to work but now it ignores the commands and just puts it into the notes sections. Emailing tasks with specific information is the best part. Please help

There could be two causes here:
1. If you specify your task properties in the subject (via Smart Add, Method #1 on that page), any text in the body will become a note.
2. If you have too much extraneous text in the body, it can affect the parser. (It may think your entire body is a note.) To that end, you can add -end- after your properties (or after what note text you want) to ensure that it doesn't get confused.
An example:
L: Work
D: today
---
Note text
-end-
Other text, signature, etc.
