Yes, I find it useful, thanks for this!

Here is a slightly modified version. I added a docstring and the ability
to be prompted for a keyword.  Of course, it would be better if keywords
where proposed as the history for the prompt, but i didn't find an easy
way to "flatten" the `org-todo-keywords' list.

(defun org-insert-email-as-current-todo (&optional kw)
  "Save a Gnus email into `*org-email-todo-list-buffer*' as a headline.
If prefix is non-nil, ask for a specific keyword."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((link (org-store-link nil))
        (keyword 
         (if kw (completing-read "Keyword: " nil nil nil "TODO"))))
    (save-window-excursion
      (find-file *org-email-todo-list-buffer*)
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (let ((point (re-search-forward *org-email-todo-tree-header* (point-max) 
nil)))
        (org-end-of-subtree t)
        (insert "\n** " keyword " ")
        (insert link))))
  (message "Email saved in %s" *org-email-todo-list-buffer*))

Maybe we could cycle through keywords for headlines in a *region*?

And (while i'm at it) maybe we could move up and down a whole set of
headlines by moving the region containing them?  I came accross this
need quite often, but i don't know if it's possible to implement it.
