Jon, the syntax of your email subject line is important. Can you provide a more specific subject line -- the exact line of an sample note? For example, Subject: Trip to Florida @travel #expense report Would create a note titled Trip to Florida in my travel notebook, tagged with expense report. http://blog.evernote.com/blog/2010/03/16/emailing-into-evernote-just-got-better/ You need to set a specific notebook each time you email something into Evernote; it won't go into your default notebook automatically.
