    Error when removing multiple list entries in a single email update.
    I have recently been trying to remove multiple list entries at a time via email and the wrong list items are removed. Here is an example:

    #1 My Test List
    - tagged with @test
    * entry0
    * entry1
    * entry2
    * entry3
    * entry4
    * entry5
    * entry6
    * entry7
    * entry8
    * entry9

    I reply with:
    update #1
    -* entry0
    -* entry1

    The list sandy returns is:
    #1 My Test List
    - tagged with @test
    * entry1
    * entry3
    * entry4
    * entry5
    * entry6
    * entry7
    * entry8
    * entry9

    Notice that entry0 and entry2 were actually removed. If you want more examples, I can append a longer test case with several updates that all had a similar issue.

    Removing multiple items does work correctly if you remove items starting at the end of the list. Using the above list, something like:
    update #1
    -* entry9
    -* entry8

    works properly.

    Thanks.

    I am also unable to retrieve the email context related to an item using the lookup #1 method described above. Is there a different keyword that we should use to get this information via email? Perhaps something like 'context #1' ?

    If there are any tests that I can run to help track the issue down, please let me know. I am enjoying this service a lot and it would be nice to use this feature to manage reference information and more detailed todo items.
