### SCRIPT NAME
Add Emails to OmniFocus
### DESCRIPTION
A simple script aimed at working with "todo" emails. The script
accomplishes two things:
1. An Omnifocus task is created related to the email
2. The email is filed into a specific folder and marked as unread
### INSTALLATION
1. Download the .workflow file somewhere on your filesystem.
2. Double click on it.
3. You should be good to go. :)
