[MlMt] Asana Integration Bundle

Good evening,

I've used Cultured Code's Things as my personal task list manager since 
the early days and with the MailMate integration bundle it makes for a 
complete workflow of my personal tasks. But this only solves one of my 
problems which is "personal" task management. I also use Asana at work 
to manage projects/tasks for my team which is proving to be a powerful 
tool. However, it has now created a gap in my productivity work flow as 
I'm unable to create Asana tasks from MailMate emails, so I end up with 
this split-brain problem with tasks.

I'm not sure if I'm reaching for the stars here but would it be possible 
to build a bundle to integrate MailMate with Asana? They have published 
a well documented API for integrations (https://asana.com/developers), I 
just don't know how feasible it would be to integrate a web application 
like this with MailMate. Ideally it would work much in the same as 
Things, where I could create a task from an email which would in turn 
create a reference link in Asana. Since Asana is a webapp would it be 
possible to open the email in MailMate from Asana? Asana is becoming 
quite popular amongst teams so it would probably add value to MailMate's 
bundle offering.

I know the OS X 
[open(1)](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html) 
command can be used to launch OS X applications so maybe this could be 
useful?

Cheers,
-Chris
