For the ToDo you can try the scrip at the end of this message (beware
line-breaks). This puts the ToDo as an e-mail into the drafts folder and
leaves the message open for addressing and sending.
You can also modify the standard "Create Task from Message" script to find
the due date information in the e-mail and create a task on the recipient
end exactly in the same format as it was on the originator side (automated
via a rule).
