I was looking for a method on linking automatically a new todo with a message i mark in Mail, as I've quickly realized that flagging mails and having a separate GTD application will not be a time proven solution.

So I've created this script, that will do the following:

  • create a new todo in a specified area (should be created in advance)
  • links the currently selected message from Mail (Apple's Mail) to this new todo

Script:MailToThings.scpt

(please note that I'm using a third party tool to invoke this applescript with a system wide keyboard shortcut (HotApp))

Update 29 August 2009: CulturedCode changed the way notes are internally stored, they are using (starting with version 1.2 (1209)) a [url=...] ... [/url] notation instead of the html one. The script is updated accordingly.
