Email Notebook and Tag abbreviations

[SiiconMan 1]

I'd like to use shorter abbreviated notebook and tag names when forwarding emails to Evernote. I have a ton of notebooks and tags, but mostly, I use just a few.

(my apologies if this has already been suggested)

Here's what the new Notebook toolbar might look like (the {} words are the abbreviated notebook/tag names; brackets would also work)

NOTEBOOKS

• Business (3203)
• Toyota {t} (5347)
• Ford {f} (509)
• GM (2)
• Pomona (47)
• Personal {p} (563)

TAGS

• Components {comp} (199)
• Biking {bk} (233)
• FPGA {f} (107)
• Robot Apocalypse {ra} (433)
• Zombies {z} (23) 

To forward an email into the "Ford" notebook with tags of "Zombies" and "Robot Apocalypse," I would type the following into my email:

TO: <my magic Evernote email address>

SUBJECT: Interminable Meeting Notes @f #z #ra

(I've put "aliases" for a bunch of the notebooks and tags but practically speaking I probably would use them for my top ten filings)

Thanks!

If you want it quickly you can use a text expander like PhraseExpress to convert #z to #zombies and the like for all your tags.  #Zombies 

The actual phrase.

Which platform/device are you using?

This feature is not available in Evernote
but I could suggest scripting solutions; for example with Applescript on a Mac

 or with third party Filterize - use your abbreviated names, and have them adjusted automatically after the note is created
