Email tasks to become a task’s comment
You can send an email with the task ID in its subject so the email will become a comment on the task.
For example, if you would like to add the email subject and body to a task with the ID of #123, you can edit the subject of the email to “Sample Subject #123” and then forward the email to the Quire email address.
The task ID can be found in the detail panel of the task or you can press I (for Windows) or ⌥ (for Mac) to toggle on the Advanced mode so the task ID will appear in the main panel.
