Can "remind me to" mean "todo"?
I'm not sure about others, but when I say "Remind me to" it means I have something "todo" and when I say "Remind me about" it usually means that I am scheduling a meeting. It would be great if Sandy could automatically understand the difference without the "@todo".
I’m inquisitive

Inappropriate?The problem I see here is confusion... perhaps instead of changing the behavior of the "remind" or "remember" commands, you should simply be able to use "todo:" as the action. For example, if you are CC'ing Sandy, this should be a command to add to the ToDo list:
Sandy, todo: call Jim Jones.
or
Sandy, todo: call Jason on Thursday at 5:00pm
Basically, I'm suggesting that in addition to the Remind and Remember command keywords, that todo: (with the colon) should be a command that automatically adds the item to the todo list (without typing both a remind command and an @todo tag) -
Inappropriate?Hi Twitter User,
I think we're on the same page, but looking at different paragraphs. :)
The remember and remind serve a purpose (ie whether to remind you or not) so I don't think you can remove them, so really you're left with the @todo tag.
I think Sandy does a great job of interpreting what I mean when I send her email, I'm really just asking her to do some more interpretation. :)
However, my proposal wouldn't work if people used language different to what I've listed above...
