Importart - yes / #6600

I'd like to be able to do things like:

• Have a open project called "maintain colo hardware".
• Set a task "Upgrade memory" with sub-task "check quotes from vendors".
• Then I'd email the vendors for some pricing.
• It would be good to be able to forward these emails into streber.

Since a Task, Folder, Document and Topic are pretty much the same thing. And files can be "attached" to all of these. It would seem straight-forward to just import the email as a Task (which can be changed to a XXX later). Use the subject as a task name, email body as description and attachments as task file attachments. User would be defined by the From: email, and maybe a virtual project "Inward Email" could be use as a mediating point between inward email and final location in streber.

Note, I think that full ticket management by something like RT should be done by RT. It might be nice if there was an API so some interaction could occur, but the above might cover a lot of situations.

My view is that projects tend to collect requirements, allocate tasks and provide resources/information so the tasks can met the requirements. Being able to have a "conversation" via email with a Project is secondary, but being able to add information via email would be very useful and save a lot of time.
