I’ve talked about this before, but it came up again today so I thought I’d do a quick post about it. Here’s a function I use in my PowerShell profile that uses NetCmdlets to send quick “todo” emails:
During the day, when I need to send myself a reminder, I can just say:
PS>todo home “remember to buy apples”
or
PS>todo work "schedule meeting with Mark and his team"
This is always faster than bringing up my email client, composing a new message and clicking send. You’ll notice that my function uses the send-email function from NetCmdlets, but just substitute your own email code if necessary.
