I do the same thing, using the following template for org-capture which
creates a task:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  ("mt"
   "mailtodo"
   entry (file+datetree "~/s/notes/tasks.org")
   "* TODO %^{Task} : %:subject %^G\nSCHEDULED: %t\n- From :: %:from\n- Subject :: %:subject\n- Email :: %a\n\n%?"
   :kill-buffer t)
#+end_src 

I have an equivalent capture template for notes based on emails.
