I've since then moved to creating tasks based on e-mail messages using planner.el . (Disclaimer: I maintain planner.el, so I'm a bit biased. =) ) I hit a key sequence, type in a short reminder, and schedule the task for today or some other day (optionally associating it with an ongoing project). It automatically picks up a link to the current message. For example, creating one from the parent article would give me something that looks like #A0 _ Describe planner from [[gnus://list.emacs.gnus/][E-Mail from Wes Hardaker]] (PlannerMode) and it gets marked up as #A0 _ Describe planner from E-Mail from Wes Hardaker (PlannerMode) where "E-Mail from Wes Hardaker" and "PlannerMode" are clickable links. So using an external-to-gnus module like PlannerMode makes my mail bearable, but it would still be nice to flag things. I really, really want to be able to color-code my mail so that I can see which messages are asking for bugfixes, which are asking for features, and which are just general thoughts. Right now I have a _lot_ of folders, but this gets hard to manage!
