Feature request: add Todo's by parsing certain emails

[rkokkelk]

User contacted me with the following feature request which I will look if this could be implemented within the add-on.

I have a related task I would like to be able to do and with your experience of these two projects you might be able to know how it might be achieved. I work at a place where internet access is pretty much locked down, but we do have access to email. In the past I had used remember the milk (RTM). With that, you can send a suitably formatted email to an RTM email account and it would add a Todo item. I would like to be able to do the same thing with Todo.txt ie send an email from work and when I get home and open thunderbird, have something run to extract new Todo's and put them into todo.txt. (Work uses outlook).

Just an idea ... couldn't this be done by (somehow) adding the action "Convert to task" to the filter rules?

One could set up something like "if subject starts with '#todo#' then convert to task". This would be nicely integrated into the existing TB features. As of right now, I only can select mail related actions, e.g. move to folder etc.
