I do indeed trigger the capture by switching over to Emacs and whacking my
org-capture keybinding (`C-c C`). I have a todo item that's been sitting in
my list for a very long time to figure out how to move my email habits into
emacs but I've never gotten around to it. In this case it's even worse
because the only reason I'm using Mail.app in the first place is because my
work email got moved to an Exchange server so I now don't have a good web
based interface to read mail anymore like my beloved Gmail.

One of these days though I'm going to break the habit and move email
directly into Emacs. :)

Thanks for the tips again!
