Extract tasks from mail
Use “Extract tasks from mail” in Recued. Extract action items from an inbound email into Recued's task tracker — title, due date, and priority (low / medium / high). Thread-aware; fires on each inbound message, and records a task only when the message actually asks the reader to do something.
