Hi Sven... that's a nice one, you might could add that to the scripts
section of the MobileOrg wiki.

Pretty soon the Capture interface will be extended to allow settings tags
and other things on captured notes... once these are in place I will extend
the CAPTURE action to also take these values as intent params.
