Default Set all Task fields from Subject Line

Hi all,

A lot of new web 2.0 task lists do something neat. They parse the
description of a task so that all fields (priority, due date,
reminder, etc) can be completed just from the description. I.e. only
one line of text needs to be entered to completely set-up the task.
For example:

tomorrow, send email to John, high, reminder 5 minutes before

It's kinda like a command line way of setting up a task.

Do any of you know of any existing Outlook functionality or existing
Outlook macros that might mimic this behavior? Often, I can't be
bothered to use Outlook tasks because I don't want to go through the
hassle of entering all the data field by field.

any help or pointers very much appreciated,
Mindful
