Please check (info "(Org)Property syntax") to know more about
properties.

Although this is still supported, you can now use this:
,----
| * A headline here
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Emacs
| :END:
`----
The CATEGORY property does the same job than the old #+CATEGORY, except
that its scope is well defined, i.e. we don't need to bother anymore on
where #+CATEGORY has to be.

Maybe something like this:
,----
| (setq org-remember-templates
| '((?c "* %?\n :PROPERTIES:\n :CATEGORY: %^{Category}\n :END:\n\n
%i\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Tasks")))
`----
(Note that white spaces are important.)
Inserting properties (including the CATEGORY property) interactively
from a template looks a bit too much for me. But not using remember
very often, and only for taking quick notes -- not editing my main
Org file.

Do you think "being-productive-with-Org" and "lurking-on-Org-channel"
can get along nicely? Ahem.
The good thing with the mailing is that it helps to provide a huge
"dynamic FAQ" to googlers. IRC logs too often die in the darkness.
