This short screencast will demonstrate how to attach files to Things items by linking to them.

Be sure to check out Things, Cultured Code's GTD application, at culturedcode.com/things.

I hope you find this demo useful. You can leave feedback in the comments.

    Will it maintain the link after moving the mail message to another mail folder?

    It does NOT seem to maintain the link when you move the message, but I can only test it with IMAP mail messages. It does seem to contain the link to files on your drive when you move them.

    I'm not sure about the inner workings of the linking, so they may or may not be able to resolve the issue.

    Fantastic screencasts. Thank you!

    I'm only just starting with Things, so I wish you'd done *loads* of others, right from the beginning. (That's me being greedy :-) )

    BTW, does the link to emails only work with Mail? I use GMail

    @Jane: thanks! When I have some spare time I will add some more, I promise. Linking to e-mails seems to be integration with the mail application, so it will only work there. But then again, I read my Gmail via IMAP in Mail, so it still works fine for me.

    I would like to use Mail for Gmail, but I can't figure out how to move my Gmail addresses into Mail.

    You can check out the Gmail documentation for IMAP and POP3. I'd recommend the former. See Gmail Help > Troubleshooting > POP/IMAP.

    @Nathan: I believe this requires 10.5 or greater.
