@MTokio - The scripts do use the Mailtags note field for any additional Toodledo syntax you may want to add in the subject line. Eg: A ‘*’ by itself in the Mailtags note field would have that task starred in Toodledo.

At least that is how I wrote the scripts I will give it a try and confirm the behaviour

Do you think there is a way through the script (and mail-tags maybe) to use the mail-tag note as new subject? Or to append something to the subject automatically?

I am after a solution to have certain tasks STARRED in Toodledo.

Thanks

Hi Himanshu,

Thanks for the update. I tried changing the lines as you instructed, but unfortunately it didn’t work. So I went through some trial-and-error procedures and found out that the culprit was a space after the date at the end of the subject line. Without a space, both “#August 1, 2010″ and “#8/1/10″ worked just fine. Apologies for my confusion.

Again, thanks a lot for the great scripts!

@Kana - Thanks for the feedback.

I am no expert at Applescript, but this might work:
In the script, search for the line that reads:

set {year:y, month:m, day:d} to thisMessage’s…
set myduedate to ” #” & m & ” ” & d & “, ” & y

Change it to read:

set {year:z, month:n, day:d} to thisMessage’s…
set m to n * 1
set y to (text -2 thru -1 of (z as text))
set myduedate to “#” & d & “/” & m & “/” & y

@Angus - I stand corrected. Apparently, Toodledo have a ‘Pro Plus’ version which /does/ support sending files as attachments via email. I do not have a Pro Plus account, but I doubt it requires anything fancy in the script. Just reading about it (http://www.toodledo.com/info/help_email.php) gives me the impression that Toodledo should simply assign any attachments to the task.

@Angus - I do not believe that the email interface of Toodledo allows you to email attachments to it. It simply ignores any attachments. Thats my understanding anyways - happy to stand corrected.

Thanks so much for the great scripts. I googled a solution to use MailTags and Toodledo and one of the search results brought me to here.

I’m not sure if this is related to the post #3, but I have a date problem. When I run Script 1, a due-date is inserted like “#August 1, 2010 ” and the result of an email to Toodledo is an undated todo. Help at Toodledo shows that a syntax for a specific due-date is something like “#5/12/08″. How do I change the script so that I can get “#1/8/10″ instead of “#August 1, 2010 ”?

Thanks!

Really great - thanks! I’d like to add the attachments to the message, just can’t figure it out, any tips? ( I tried

set attachments to mail attachments of thisMessage

)

Cheers!
