It is likely that TaskPaper returns some kind of identifier for this purpose, but this then needs to be stored until it is needed when a reply has been sent. This is hard to do in a way that would synchronize with the IMAP server (it could be an IMAP keyword, but I don't think servers work well with a very large number of keywords). It would probably be better if the task could be located using the Message-ID of the message.

Yeah, I already use the message_id in the task note. I'll give this some thought as to how best implement it.
