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.

**@Benny:**
This shouldn't be too hard. We can just add a tag **@id(*message_id*)** and then later search for a task with the same message_id. Now would this be the message_id we see in MailMate message view (Msg ID / UID)?


**@Nitin:** 
This would also require that these tasks go into a default file and preferably project. Agreed?
