Well, it's pretty much "reply to ticket in email client." But, I wrote some basic help docs for it.

"[email blocked]" maybe too long, but it is great tips.

How often do these messages get processed? It seems to only happen overnight.

Every 5 minutes.

Hi,
Is it possible to create tickets with a milestone / assigned user via email?
I can email to my key, and a ticket with the title as the mail subject and the description as the mail body gets created.
Can I use something similar to the SVN log message integration?
Thanks.

Agree it'd be great to be able to use [tagged:committed responsible:rick milestone:"Launch" state:resolved] name val pairs in email subject.

Ricks pondering the idea of this by using tarot cards (except there are comic characters on them which scares me a little). Life is meant to be lived on the "edge" right? guess we just got to have a little faith sometimes and go with the flow.
As of now, you can't email tickets w/ tags or milestones and the future is a little cloudy according to the cards...but it's def something that is in demand

Heh, the only issue I guess is where to put the name/value pairs? Just at the bottom of the email? Any single line of text? At the end of the email subject?

Hey Guys;
I reckon in square brackets in the subject would be easiest for all
subject: test ticket [tagged:highest responsible:matt]

I went with that compact format because commit messages are typically one-liners. I wonder if it makes sense to allow multi-line statements?

I figured I could continue the conversation about the format for the commit messages here.
If there is going to be the possibility for parsing git commit messages directly from a github repo, using a git-like format would be a winner. There is already some meta-data being used in the git community. That is: Signed-off-by: John Doe [email blocked] Acked-by: Fred Maintainer [email blocked]
Extending this for ticket tracking would be possible: Ticket-number: 15 Ticket-state: resolved Responsible-user: rick Milestone: Launch
Whether this is completely sensible or not remains to be seen. In git, the first line of the commit is a summary of the commits purpose and in a lot of cases the commit is a in-depth explanation of the reason for doing the commit. Refer

This is something that could be added to your git post-receive hooks too. As it is, there's no standard for this, and I'd rather keep Lighthouse scm-agnostic for now.

Having problems submitting tickets via BlackBerry. Is anyone else. I can send tickets via other mail clients but not via the BB. I believe it has to do with the different characters involved in sending to lightHouse (+ - .).

Fogo, acutally I think that is the case. During the lighthouse beta days we had another blackberry user who mentioned the same issue. It took a few days but there was a solution found. I'm not sure if its on the forum or not, but I will search around.

The specification of the milestone and other key-value pairs. Is it implemented for email ticket submission ? I've tried it and seems the text is not getting parsed.
Let me know - Thanks - Martin

Kleinman: yes, it has to be at the bottom though.
