Now the next step would be a script extracting the data out of the message
body to the proper fields of the To-Do.
If I get a mail whose body does look like this:
>>>>>>>>>
For your action, please: ((note))
This should go into the note field of the To-Do
D/L: ((date))
Mittwoch, 22. November 2000 0:00:00 Uhr
Remind Me: ((reminding date and time))
Dienstag, 22. November 2000 0:00:00 Uhr
<<<<<<<<<
Also would it be possible to send completed To-Do's as mails to my
colleagues triggering a rule/script with them that changes the status of a
To-Do from "open" to "done"?
This way everyone would know If a To-Do has been completed.
Thanks! -- Kai
