How do I add items to a list via email?
I create a list with an email list:

And rather than adding those to the list, she actually deletes the list! I get "I forgot (deleted) this for you". What am I doing wrong?

Inappropriate?I don't think you're doing anything wrong. It's just one of those weird errors Sandy sometimes has when reading emails.
I tried your example and it worked for me. I did exactly what you describe. The weird thing was that Sandy seemed to get two commands from my second email. She updated the "packing list" with items 4 and 5 AND she created a new list called "r packing list" with items 1, 2, and 3.
My guess is that Sandy is picking up some keywords from the previous email and interpreting it as a command. The word "forget" is in the confirmation email that she sends, and so is "remember". I don't know why she grabbed the "forget" in your case, or what actually happened in mine. I did receive a new item though, and it includes the context that created it.
