Moderate success for basic metadata but doesn't allow you to traverse/use lists for source data.</p> <p>Any help/pointers appreciated. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/incoming-email-to-list-in-wss#post-6763 Mon, 18 May 2009 10:39:05 +0000 aeaster 6763@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I am trying to automatically add content to a custom list from a 3rd party email alert.

Is there a way to display an item without a start time similar to Outlook All Day Event? Many times the item our company would like to display does not have a start time, like reminders, pay days and holidays. Also displaying the time takes up screen space. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/custom-list-import-spreadsheet#post-6984 Fri, 22 May 2009 14:31:13 +0000 slevy 6984@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>i created a custom list using the import spreadsheet.
