This, to me, is the winner, minus the bouncing. Email servers or clients can append headers based on what content is in the mail, and that information can be used to provide context sensitive app links. I can imagine a big button next to an email that says "Add to Calendar" or "Send to Evernote" or "View Map/Directions". I think Gmail does a good bit of this, so if they can provide hooks for more external services to capture, it would be a huge win.



the bounce is a bit harsh I'll admit. but the point I wanted to make was that if I don't want that type of message then return the message to sender.

i.e. if I don't have a to-do list app registered, don't send me a to-do.


Ah, that makes more sense. I don't make appointments over email, so bounce an invitation and they can see me in person. I've always liked the idea of email as a non-guaranteed protocol.
