Email a task list
August 21, 2009
Posted by Michael Bolin, Software Engineer
Sometimes you need to get your tasks out of Tasks. Although you already know
how I feel about paper
, we decided to add support for printing with
Tasks's graduation from Gmail Labs
. Today we're offering another export solution which doesn't kill trees: emailing a task list.
Like most Tasks features, "Email task list" can be found in the Actions menu.
Clicking on it will open a new compose window with the contents of your current task list. This works in all views (my order, sort by date, completed), so to email your mom to explain why you've been so busy and haven't been able to return her calls, just choose "View completed tasks" from the Actions menu, then "Email task list" and send away. (Note: this may not be very convincing if you haven't actually checked anything off your list recently.)
If you want to let us know how Tasks is working for you, we're now available on Twitter at
http://twitter.com/googletasks
. Like most
Google accounts on Twitter
, we won't be able to respond to every question or feature request, but sometimes you might get lucky and we'll have an answer for you. Oh and
@sayanghosh
, today is your lucky day.
