Eleanor discovered a cool feature in Backpack (API), although she got the link wrong in her post:

Each page has a unique email address, and anything sent to that address is squirted straight onto the page. If your email has “note: [foo]” in the subject line, then it becomes a note called [foo] where the text is generated from the text of your email. You can upload images, files, and to-do list items like this, too.

Backpack has a slick .mov file demonstrating these features. Not sure if I’d use this or not, but I signed up anyway to check it out. Might be handy for forwarding interesting stuff from email to a private or public web place.

Who is Eleanor? Another one of the female-authored bloggers who commented on my call for female bloggers:

Since you wanted to hear from female bloggers - ding, that’s me. I currently blog about — well, technology, mostly. Although coincidentally, I’m studying marketing at the moment, and am likely to be mentioning marketing stuff of interest now and then.

I have written about Ta-da lists here (Ta-da Lists is a free service) before which is by the same company, 37 Signals, that make Backpack (Free, $5, $9 and $19/month plans) and also the project management tool Basecamp (Free for one project, $12, $24, or $99/month plans).
