While reading an email I create a new TODO task with C-M-r t which gives me this: ,---- | * TODO | [2010-12-01 Wed 20:23] | [[gnus:nntp%2Bnews.gmane.org:gmane.emacs.orgmode#87zkspksr2.fsf@ucl.ac.uk][Email from Eric S. Fraga: Re: {Orgmode} Re: org-mode gnu]] `---- and I normally enter something like 'Reply to Eric' as the TODO task and file it with C-c C-c. Later I can open the link with C-c C-o on the headline or from the agenda to get back to the gnus mail or news article directly. My todo capture template looks like this: ,---- | (setq org-capture-templates (quote (("t" "todo" entry (file "~/git/org/refile.org") "* TODO %? | %U | %a" :clock-in t :clock-resume t)))) `---- (extracted from http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Capture) HTH, Bernt
