To maybe look at a step past 'tagging', we could see contextual, weighted tagging come in, measuring words used, time, sender, subject, weight given by each participant in the communication exchange, UI aspects to better link with resources outside of the message itself - and hell, bundle this with business/personal rules that populate as a natural, flowing side effect of the production of the messages themselves - allowing the user to move through a meshwork of messages -- or even relevant snips from them. Have a legal case which would benefit from a cross-reference to an earlier one? It's that node you can see over there! but still out of the way enough so it's a specific user choice to engage or even observe it. For some reason your idea really kinda got me going for a bit there.
