Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into them.

Strictly speaking, these are not TODO items, but ideas and notes for
blog posts I may want to write. The email approach has been ok, but
since I typically expand on these short notes in org-mode, it would be
useful to be able to import them directly. But I'll certainly look at
these alternatives.

Thanks!
