Lots of programs already have this integration. Is it a bug report or feature request? Forward it to FogBugz. FogBugz figures out where it belongs (and if it gets it wrong, you tell it and it learns). Is it a task? Forward it to Flow and it gets entered as a task. Travel itinerary from your airline/car rental service/hotel? Forward it to TripIt. Works like magic.

This problem has, generally speaking, been addressed. You're just not using tools that address it. Which is not to say that there isn't room for improvement, or gaps in this toolchain (e.g., I can't think of a tool for bills/invoices off the top of my head, though I bet one exists). And addressing it by creating a solution for your specific combination of problems is certainly admirable.

But it's not email that's broken; if anything is broken, it's the endpoints (both the source and the destination). Saying email is broken is like saying the | operator in Unix is broken.
