MailTags for Gmail?
David Chartier (demon blogger at TUAW 
but so much more ) wonders about tags for Gmail.
Apparently, a reader of David’s blog posted that he is working on a tags system for Gmail and that Google is interested in his idea.
David explores three areas which a tagging feature for Gmail would need to address.
He notes in conclusion, “I realize that some applications have plug-ins that can already do this, such as the MailTags plugin for Apple’s Mail.app, and that’s great.”
Oh, yes, it is.
I must have had some kind of Gmail-ectomy. I try to use it alot so that I will catch the spark, but it’s not working. I can’t help asking myself, why go out for hamburger, when I can stay home and have steak?

Hi - I’ve been reading for a little while, first time commenting.
First off, I love Gmail, but I try not to lose my objectivity completely.
As for tagging in Gmail, while it’s a manual solution, what I do when I want tags is reply to a given message and address that reply to myself. Then I select all, and start typing the text or tags I want to use to search for it later. Works like a charm. Then I send it to myself and I have a rule that marks it as read and archives it so that it doesn’t clutter up the inbox. Very quick, and so browser dependency (a la GreaseMonkey solutions).
Thanks for your site - email management is the keystone of living with digital information.
