Transform emails into tasks

[robbrandt]

Now that emails are functional and stable, I would love to see something that will transform an email into a task.  I get most of my tasks assigned/requested by email anyway, one click to change an email into a task would be very slick.

Really, that’s a really good idea but it’s not a new one:

Excellent.  I did a cursory look but didn't see it.  There were a lot of results for "email" and "task"

It was sponsored, developed and will be available for next release.

That's good news. Would be a great addition for our style of work-flow.

HI Steve, it is already implemented.

I the e-mail view you should click to see more options... then you should see "Create a task from this e-mail" click it and done.

Ah, I guess my idea was a little off. Thinking more of remote commands from email that Feng automatically picks up and does an action:

i.e. Email to fengoffice@company.com with Subject: New Task for Steve Breen
then maybe a task description in the body, would open a general task for Steve Breen that is based on the body message.

We have a ticketing system internally that does this.

That's a good idea, could be really useful.

Would be very nice feature indeed.
At the and it means that emails (with specific parameters) would be automatically converted to tasks.
Or more simply, emails arriving to a selected account would be converted automatically to a task.

This is closely linked to the feature of evaluating rules on incoming email and executing actions according to their results.

I'd like to exchange ideas on how this rules would work, and how to develop a mini framework in a way that it can be easily extended by the community.
