What if you're on the road and you want to log your time in smRty ? Previously, you'd have had to write your time on a piece of paper, and type all those in when you got back to your office. We now have another option !

Send mail to: login.project.password@smrty.com to switch between issues !

The subject line of your E-Mail will be used to search in the issues list of the project. If none match, your default mobile issue will be used instead.

If your E-Mail has a body and/or attachments, they will be appended to the selected issue.

In more concrete terms:

Harry is a plumber. He's into technology: flickr, del.icio.us, blogger. He recently discovered smRty, and is keen on using it with his shiny new Cingular 8125.

Harry receives a call from Shannon. She has problems with her kitchen sink. Harry jumps in the truck, and before driving, sends a mail to harry.p.luke@iclock.in, with a subject of "shannon / driving", using his cell phone. When he arrives, Harry sends another E-Mail to the same address, but this time the subject says "shannon / onsite".

Harry quickly patches the problem, but he needs a part. He snaps a picture with his cell phone, and attaches the picture to an E-Mail, sent to the same address. This time, his subject says "shannon / order". The mail's body also contains the part number: "9218x0002".

Back at the office, Harry fires up Firefox, and navigates to smRty. He goes to the issues list for his "p" project, and selects Shannon's issue.

In the issue's comments section, at the end, Harry retrieves the picture, prints it and asks his helper to buy the appropriate part. Harry reminds his helper to not forget to log his time in smRty.
