(Archived) Emailing ToDo items

[davidbgonzalez 0]

Is there a strait-forward way to email a ToDo item into a notebook?

I have found that I can copy and paste the todo character from Evernote (Mac client) into my email client (Mail.app) and set the appropriate @notebook and #tags:

Copied Todo item from Evernote.app

Pasted Todo item in mail.app

While this method works it is a bit cumbersome. If there is a strait-forward way to include a todo item in an emailed note into a notebook then I can tell my wife to email me todos (the wisdom of making it easier for her to request things of me is fodder for a different post). If not then either I need to make her a Todo email template or get her using Evernote and share a notebook with her. Both are ok options, however, it would be cool if something like this were possible:

$todo

and

$todo:false

$todo:true

No, there's currently no way to create a ToDo checkbox via email.

Here is a work around that might be helpful

Create a tag named ToDo

Then send the email and add #ToDo to the end of the subject.

Run a search for tag:Todo and add checkbox to the note

Thanks for the feedback. It'd be great to be able to add a token that gets picked up by evernote. Until then I'll experiment with the work arounds.
