Convert a Gmail message into a Google Tasks entry

## Usage

```bash
gws workflow +email-to-task --message-id <ID>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--message-id` | ✓ | — | Gmail message ID to convert |
| `--tasklist` | — | @default | Task list ID (default: @default) |

## Examples

```bash
gws workflow +email-to-task --message-id MSG_ID
gws workflow +email-to-task --message-id MSG_ID --tasklist LIST_ID
