[Chandler-dev] Re: Flagging emails to get messages into Chandler

[Katie Capps Parlante]

Hi Brian,

Seems to me that flagging has a more "lightweight" feeling than dragging 
to a folder. It is only one click, and you have visual feedback in your 
inbox that the item was flagged.

fwiw, I think it would be an improvement for me personally as a user for 
getting messages from my inbox into Chandler. Losing the folder trick 
for stamping-as-event would be worth the flagging affordances.

It doesn't have various other advantages that a full Tbird plugin has, 
but would work from multiple mail clients.

Cheers,
Katie
