That's interesting. I'm also a fan of GTD and therefore also love
being able to get mail out of the inbox into the archives, so that the
inbox only contains unprocessed mail. However, as I mentioned a while
back on this list, I take a completely different approach to
implementing the "tickler" mechanism for allowing an archived mail to
regain visibility on a particular date:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/2513/
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5595/
etc.
