With the Thunderbird integration, we can convert an email into a task or an event.

It is right if the message matches exactly with ONE task. But in fact, it's common that a message corresponds to multiple taks or events.

So it would be great if we could select a portion of the mail like any other text selection (example: "You have to do this thing"). And when we click (or with shortcuts) on "New task", the title will be the selected text.

In this way, we could add very quickly multiples taks and multiple events from a mail, without having to re-type all the titles.

Reproducible: Always
Sounds like a good idea, confirming. This requires a UI decision though.
