Seb,
it does indeed. Many thanks, and also for the emacs lisp code that
shows how to use the extra link information. I wouldn't need to use
this information in the way you do because my capture template for task
creation, which is usually what I do as a result of emails, is based on
a date tree... but it's still very useful to see other ways of handling
the information overflow we have!
Thanks again,
eric
