Are there problems with Sandy?

Over the last day or two I have had long delays while waiting for Sandy to respond to my email. Now, I'm not getting any response to my email messages at all. I am able to add items through the website email link, but when I email from my account, I'm not receiving timely responses (still waiting an hour for a lookup inquiry).

you need to have spaces between your update lines in order for Sandy to read it:

u 1 @archive

u 3 @done

Problem updating items

So, I've been having trouble doing multiple update commands in one email. I'm not sure if this is a design, or if I'm experiencing a problem. I told Sandy to lookup entries from a 2 week period and then I wanted to update several items as "archive" and several others with an updated date.

I replied to Sandy's list with the following:

u #1 @archive
u #2 @archive
u #3 monday
...

Well, in every case (no matter than I had Sandy's email settings to html or plain text), Sandy only saw the first update command.

So I had to send 6 different email messages to update 6 items on the list.

Ideally, I could say U 1-10 @archive, but failing that, I thought I could just put each command on one line.

If I have to send several separate email messages, this might be really cumbersome.

Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?

Mike is absolutely right. If Mike's summary is correct, I can work with that, but I don't want to assume that Sandy is supposed to be adding text when Sandy only adds times/dates and tags.

Okay, I thought my items should be:

pick up at target meds @ 5pm
pick up at target shampoo @ 5pm

no?

Thanks for the hard work, but I'm still having problems. For example, just now I emailed this:

r pick up at target at 5pm +
*meds
*shampoo

and I got:

I put these on your calendar:

#1 Mon, 1/21/2008 5:00pm Meds
- Email reminder at 4:50pm

#2 Mon, 1/21/2008 5:00pm Shampoo
- Email reminder at 4:50pm

I'm using it via gmail on firefox. On Windows Vista (which I hate, but that's off-topic).

It seems to me that Sandy got the date right "Friday" 1/25 is a far bit from tomorrow, so I don't think that's a problem. But I tried it myself, and the tag doesn't hit the multiple items. I'm not sure why it isn't working.
