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.
