I use capture mode for this. While reading an email I create a new TODO
task with C-M-r t which gives me this:
,----
| * TODO <cursor is here>
| [2010-12-01 Wed 20:23]
|
[[gnus:nntp%2Bnews.gmane.org:gmane.emacs.orgmode#87zkspksr2....@ucl.ac.uk][email
from Eric S. Fraga: Re: {Orgmode} Re: org-mode gnu]]
`----
and I normally enter something like 'Reply to Eric' as the TODO task and
file it with C-c C-c.
Later I can open the link with C-c C-o on the headline or from the
agenda to get back to the gnus mail or news article directly.
My todo capture template looks like this:
,----
| (setq org-capture-templates (quote (("t" "todo" entry (file
"~/git/org/refile.org") "* TODO %?
| %U
| %a" :clock-in t :clock-resume t))))
