Send selected Apple Mail messages to Things, then file the originals your way.
Things Mailman is a native menu-bar app for macOS.
Select messages in Apple Mail, use the menu bar or press ⌥ ⌘ Return, and Things Mailman forwards each one to your private Things address.
After forwarding, the original can stay where it is, be archived, moved to Trash, or filed in a mailbox you choose.

This has been fully vibecoded, enter at your own risk 🙃.
Good thing is you can fully vibecode on top of it, I won’t mind.
Bug reports and pull requests are welcome.
Just keep things simple and useful, I don’t want this to become bloated.
