**@Benny:**
This shouldn't be too hard. We can just add a tag **@id(*message_id*)** and 
then later search for a task with the same message_id. Now would this be the 
message_id we see in MailMate message view (Msg ID / UID)?


**@Nitin:** 
This would also require that these tasks go into a default file and preferably 
project. Agreed?
