If an email thread evolves, new emails should be coming there, right? So, the new emails that introduce new tasks can be captured independently (with backlinks). When a thread gets long and complex, the individual email-todos can be grouped (refiled) under the same "thread project", so that review is simplified. If an email introduced more than a single todo, one can simply save the link to email and capture multiple individual todos - again under some "thread project". -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
