Could be I guess.  What he said was:

I read this and thought: Well, if someone wanted to send me a message about
a task, with completion date and so, it would be cool to add that to nag,
like you can with kronolith.  But why not just do it the same as in 
kronolith?

Now, maybe he meant something more like:  If someone sent me a cool joke in
email, it would be cool to import that into mnemo.  If so, then that is
a totally different thing all together.

I can see how to implement that at the low level, but I'm not sure what
kind of UI you could use to make it useful and intuitive...
