FR: tag the email as "clipped" in Thunderbird after clipping #32

It would be useful to see at a glance if the email has already been processed to Obsidian, so it isn't duplicated there. Maybe generate a tag saying "Obsidian".

Thanks for a very useful plugin.

@Lotus49b I can look at this. I think you'd specifically want to change the text for the tag in the settings, right? Perhaps default it to "ClippedToObsidian" or the like maybe. Please confirm that for me.

Also, I have a concern about the graphic in the post above. I can read the text that was marked up in blue. If your intent was to redact personal information, please delete the graphic as soon as you can. I can understand the issue without it.

So what I'm suggesting is:

The plugin creates a new tag in TB for the selected email after generating the email note to Obsidian. The tag shows that the email has already been "clipped" when viewing the email in TB.
Optional: the user can modify the default title ("ClippedToObsidian") to text of their own choice in plugin settings

Thanks for considering this.

Sidenote: I'm very pleased with the appearance of the email note in Obsidian. I did this using only the plugin's template:
