New tasks via email - how to include contexts?
As new tasks often come from incoming email, the ability to send a task to your Nirvana inbox through email is very useful. The task itself is in the subject field while notes can be provided in the body of the email.
So far so good, but how do I include contexts (tags)? I tried putting @email @5min etc. in the subject field, but Nirvana doesn't seem to pick it up as a tag.

This can't be done now. There has been some talk on future enhancements to the email input.

roddyt is correct. Nirvana Staff did say that this is something they will add in the future.
I think it's a great idea, but I almost always dump everything into my inbox with no other information. I like to dump things into the inbox without having to think much about it. Later while I am processing my inbox, I choose where it goes.
That's just me.

Proximo,
Of course, you ARE the guru, so all you say must be considered.
However, it would be nice to have the OPTION to add tags, as well as assign an AoF, Schedule and/or Due Date, and Effort for those who would like to.
Just my 2 cents.

@Glenn,
I think having the options would be great and I would use it myself. Sometimes you are not doing a brain dump but adding a step to a project. In this example, you would want to add all the information right up front in an easy way.
I am all for it.
