Re: [tasque-list] New and recent remember the milk tasks not showing up

["John A. Lewis" <jlewis tinyx com>]

Just wanted to confirm that I am experiencing the same problem.  Not 
sure how many tasks I had (including completed ones) when the problem 
started -- probably around 90 or so.  After deleting all my completed 
tasks through the RTM website, I was again able to access my current 
tasks through Tasque.

Is it possible to only download the active tasks via the API?  I don't 
really have a need to see my completed tasks in Tasque, but it would be 
nice to keep them and access them via the RTM website.
