Hello, At the recommendation of Tim Cross <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2021-04/msg00813.html> I've prepared a patch to worg to include the elisp that I recently sent to the list that I've been using to create TODO items based on the currently selected macOS Mail.app message.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help get it applied.
