+This script watches a gmail account for any thread labeled with 'rtm'. When such a thread is found it 
+sends a task-creation email to Remember the Milk that includes a link back to the original thread.
+
+To follow the link back to the email you have to be logged in to the originating Gmail account (which
+is only an issue if you have multiple gmail accounts). Otherwise Google claims the email cannot be
+found.

+To install it go into Google Drive and create a new "Script" (the link is a bit hidden in the create submenu).
