Email forwarding actions
I would like to be able to set a rule for how sandy should act on certain forwarded emails. The application I can see is I get emails from my power company saying i have a bill due. If i forward these emails to Sandy, she replies that i didn't tell her what to do. I'd like to be able to tell her, for instance, that if the email contains "From: <NoReply@domain.com>" remind me in 5 days. It won't be perfectly accurate in all situations, but this would allow for some automagic notifications of things that come in via email maybe a little less regular than a bill :)
I’m interested

Inappropriate?and to clarify a little. It isn't just clicking forward .. I am looking to use the gmail forward rules to send them to Sandy without human intervention .. which is where i have issues :)
I’m amused

Inappropriate?So really what you want is to be able to set up a set of rules for how Sandy should treat incoming email.
Currently Sandy rejects all incoming mail that doesn't have the "From:" field set to either your primary or secondary address. Google, when forwarding email, doesn't change the "From:" field, so it would still be <NoReply@powercompany.com> So even if you forwarded the bill, through gmail, from the power company to Sandy, right now Sandy would reject the email.
So, how I see it, this idea consists of 3 parts.
1) Sandy would need to have a list of email addresses that you want her to receive email from. (i.e a list of "authorized email addresses" or "friends")
2) Sandy would need to have an "email filter". A "rule", a way to specify a certain subset of incoming emails. (something like a Google mail filter)
3) Sandy would need to allow users to create an "action" to go along with the email filter. (i.e. when Sandy receives an email from <NoReply@powercompany.com> then send out a reminder in 5 days.)
