How about just using a fixed syntax:

-- email start

* Pick Milk

* Buy Fags

* Drop Children at Mary @ 16:00

---

Then use a python date parse to parse whatever comes after @. You don't need to split reminders or followups, because an @ symbol would automatically imply a reminder, innit?



The use of the @ symbol may well be a good idea to split out the dates and separate remindable things from non-remindable.


You should have an escape mechanism handy for the notation of email-addresses, though.
