This is a good idea, but after the 2nd or 3rd level of indentation (depending 
on the length of the summary text), much of the summary will have to be cut 
off, otherwise it will run into the due date.

I agree. If it looks like garbage, they'll quickly figure it out.

A thought has occurred... Where does the "Category" field fit into all of 
this? I woudl think it more useful to group by that on the printed output, 
but I am probably just used to Outlook. In a way, it seems a little redundant 
to have a category as well as the sub todo feature. THey seem to serve 
basically the same purpose, except the sub-todo allows deeper levels.  Unless 
you're creating Gantt charts, the multiple levels of todo seems to be of 
limited usefulness. Like you said, after a couple of levels it won't even 
look very good on screen. 

Anyway, when we get around to giving the user some choices as to how they 
want things printed, it might be a nice idea to let them choose to have them 
grouped by category instead of arranging them hierarchically.
