To avoid unnecessary distraction, I would like to quickly convert them into org-mode TODO list items. What is the recommended way to do this? Can the org-capture framework be used for this? I use notmuch to access email, and org-notmuch.el as capture interface but I guess the same problem occurs for users of gnus or other email clients. Do solutions exist for them? I also experimented a bit with "icalendar-import-buffer", which gives a diary entry that can show up in the agenda. Are there any better options? Any pointers welcome. Andreas
