Email a new Unprocessed task

• To create a new task, send an email (either a new email or forward an existing email) from your email (the Google login email or your shared OpenID email) to either today@onestodo.com or yyyy-mm-dd@onestodo.com (eg. 2009-12-31@onestodo.com)
• The due date of the todo is set to the date equivalent to the email name that your email is sent to.
• The email subject becomes the todo title and the text body or the html body will become the todo description.
• If you are using Google Gmail, it is also possible to setup filters to auto-forward email.
