Much of what I need to do is in some way related to email messages I
have received. So, to the extent that org is my repository of things I
have to do and notes related to those things, links to related email
messages would be very useful.

Subject: Re: [Orgmode] keeping track of sent emails in org?
Hi,
I think there are interesting ideas coming up in this tasks, in
particular the question if message IDs can be used to find articles in
gnus, even if they have been moved around. I am not sure if this
questions has been fully answered, but I have not read the thread
carefully enough yet, and certainly not tried Michaels code.
Right now I would like to take a little step back and understand
better what the original poster is trying to do.
I can see that in an Emacs/Planner environment it makes sense to
create links to sent emails on the days page. The reason for this is
that the planner day page is not only used for listing the planned
tasks for the day, but also as a way of creating a daily journal.
Sacha Chua's blog shows that she is using it just like that, and I
think this is one of te unique and great features of planner.
However, the basic setup of Org is different. There is no equivalent
of a daily page. The agenda views created by Org are dynamic and list
tasks, and the tasks disappear when they are done. Yes, you can look
at the achievements of a day by checking closed tasks and log
messages, but still this is no equivalent to the planner day pages
which is a document that can be edited and preserved for the future.
Maybe you can create something similar with Org, but I think it is not
straight forward.
On the other hand, every decent email program does have a SENT folder,
and an easy way to list the emails sent on a specific date.
To me it seems that instead of creating a sequential list of links to
emails for each day, it would be more interesting to create a way to
collect links relating to a project or a task in the outline node of
the project, or maybe in an attachment file of the project (if the
list of emails is long).
Just my 5 cents.
