I’d like to create a task formatted for emacs org-mode based on an email I receive in MailMate. So, for example, an email from John Smith, received 2015-12-14 with the subject line “here’s one” and the body text “blah, blah, blah” generates something like this, appended to a plain-text file:

[Extra points if I can select a part of the body text and have only that part go into the body.]

Possible?

This requires a so-called bundle which is (unfortunately) still undocumented. There are a lot of [examples](https://github.com/mailmate) though. They can be enabled in the Bundles preferences pane of MailMate. Some of the calendar bundles use `MM_SELECTED_RANGE` which might be useful for the extra points (although I'm not sure this variable always works well in general).

You can base your bundle on an existing one. Place it here and MailMate should automatically detect it:

        ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/

Make sure you replace every use of a UUID in the various files. You can put one on the pasteboard like this (in a Terminal window):

        uuidgen | tr -d '\n' | pbcopy

See if you can make it work and then let me know if you have any questions.
