A quick look on the API reveals that `curl` can be used to create a 
task:

	curl -u <api_key>: https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks \
		-d "assignee=1235" \
		-d "followers[0]=5678" \
		-d "name=Hello, world%21" \
		-d "notes=How are you today%3F" \
		-d "projects=14641" \
		-d "workspace=14916"

That's not a problem. MailMate can generate `message:` URLs and they are 
opened by MailMate if MailMate is the default email client (it also 
works for Apple Mail).

I don't currently have the time to create new bundles. I imagine it 
would be easiest to use the Todoist bundle as a starting point for 
creating an Asana bundle since it also requires the use of an API key 
(named a token in Todoist I think), but it seems that for Asana this is 
not the only variable needed (projects, assignee?, workspace?).

Well, it's probably faster for me to create a bundle than it is to 
explain how it's done. You can contact me off list if you would like to 
help that happen. Primarily, I need you to play with the `curl` commands 
needed to do what you want with Asana.
