Email is a great way to send info but the point of an "IN-box" is to get the email OUT of it and into a place you can do something with it i.e. (Merlin Mann / Inbox Zero). And, no, that doesn't mean another folder somewhere in your mail client. That means your to-do list, calendar, etc... But what about the bits you want to keep track of but you don't really cause you to need to do something? Evernote is a great way to keep track of things you want to remember and I've increasingly found myself moving mail messages into Evernote for later reference. Unfortunately I'm lazy and the copy/paste process is far too tedious. If I wanted to fill my life with such drudgery I'd be using Windows.
Here's a simple script you can add to your Mail Script folder. The script will add a new Evernote note with the selected email message subject as the Note title and the email contents as the note body. It will create a new Notebook called Mail Archive to which all Mail notes will be added. It also sets the note creation date to the date you received the message. Not the date you added it to Evernote.
