Yes, but it sucks, because either you create one for every email, or you
have to give an explicit command to be captured by the system.
I think the "workflow" over email is unstructured enough that there
always needs to be a human to do some selective capturing of
information. As soon as you get into things like creating templates
which patch submitters are supposed to use, it's the about the same as
having to go to the web interface to enter the patch.
