The ">>" lets you separate...

The ">>" lets you separate...

The “>>” lets you separate the ostensible subject (which governs whether it’s a todo, note, etc.) from the content.

Yeah, make sure you update all your plugins. You def. need the Mail plugin (although Mail.app it doesn’t apparently need to be open at the time) and you should update the Backpack plugin. It just got updated (yesterday?) and adds automatic addition of pages as email addresses (no need to expressly create them in Address Book). Very handy.
