Spending most of his time staring at a blinking prompt,
Glugg used to use command line tools to email himself todos.
Alas, the system quickly became unmanageable even with ability
to bring the full power of the GNU toolset to bear on his
MH folders.
He was familiar with C>
but liked having the ability to add tasks from anywhere with
access to email. Therefore Glugg was thrilled when he found
M, a C like interface to the
web-based A service.
Besides the ability to add tasks by email, and hand-out
special email addresses to others for them to submit tasks
to as well, Glugg was fond of the I action which
allowed him to create multiple (un)related tasks at once in
his favorite text editorN.
