e-mail based to-do list?

yudel on 2003-05-08T17:36:24

I'm trying to get my task lists organized. Before I build my own, is there any server-based task list program that can handle updates via email as well as by the Web?

I'd like to be able to forward an email, with some lines at the top:

priority 1 due 5/12 category home project refinance title call the broker est 1 hour

And create a task, with all the data, and have the rest of the email be attached.

Any suggestions? Or any suggestions for an existing web-based program that I could hack in Perl to add the email functionality?

RT?

There's an addon for RT 2.0 to do just that, and I'd be thrilled if you felt like porting the behavior to RT3 (rather than starting from scratch on yet another todo list app) ;)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have some questions posted below.

OK, I'm looking at RT.

Questions:

* Can I add new fields (time estimated, time taken)?

* Is there a built-in timer interface?

* How modifiable is it?

* Besides the 3.0 PDF documentatino, is there anything else a prospective RT hacker should be looking at?

My previous entry on this. I've got a workable alpha setup that extends the MH mail, I might get some more time this summer to robustify it.

I read the thread. Looks interesting... is there a URL where something is posted?
