Looked again and found the docs, Guess I need to send it with ‘task’ in the subject, and 1 task per line prefaced with a *.

Still seems like one should be able to turn a note into an action though.

i agree. you should be able to turn a note into an action. for example, i have employees tell me about all kinds of thing that need to be done. i tell them to email it to my nozbe address. but they dont know about the * action name trick. so it comes in as a note instead of an action and I cant turn it into an action.
