I use the attached script to open the mail I'm reading in Mutt in Emacs
so that I can link to it in my Org mode notes, etc.  You could write a
function that calls the required capture templates and use it in place
of the call to notmuch-show.  Probably you also want to remove the GNU
Screen related stuff (call to screen select and the check for $STY).

Hope this helps,
