Yeah, that would be a nice option, but Mail doesn't support services from the message list at the top. I need to suggest to the MailTags developer that he add this in (or we could add our own .mailbundle to fix this oversight). I've logged a Radar with Apple, so hopefully they'll fix it someday, but we'll probably need to do something about it sooner than that.

Of course on the pedantic side, I'd say that most mail messages are going to have more than one issue conflated and you'll need to split it up eventually. Otherwise you're just shuffling papers around aimlessly between inboxes =) Another approach when clipping a message via the message list would be to only clip the reference to the original and a link to the sender and then let you fill out the details -- perhaps you've visually identified the action and just want to type it up rather than go select it.

Anyway, lots of UI choices, as always.
