* Josh's answer seems great.
** I used to use VM in EMACS, worked great, highly recommend it--you could
then use EMACS hooks like:
"vm-mail-hook
List of hook functions to be run after a Mail mode composition buffer has
been created to send a non specialized message, i.e. a message that is not
a reply, forward, digest, etc. VM runs this hook and then runs
vm-mail-mode-hook before leaving you in the Mail mode buffer.
--and hook those hooks (the list of hooks is 20+ long) up to creating an
OrgMode document---maybe somewhat in the way Josh suggested--e.g.:
(add-hook 'vm-summary-update-hook 'org-capture)
