That would be a nice way to tag it as context the bot should be aware of without eliciting a response from it, have it respond only when its a direct recipient.
Would be nice to have a natural language stack to tell a bit what I want it to do with each email. I spent way too many hours with Microsoft Power Automate just to say "when an email is from X and the subject line starts with RFQ\W+, download the attachment and save it as the matched name and add a row in a spreadsheet grabbing the tabular data from the email body" (pretty handy that I could insert data into spreadsheets without having to worry about auth, benefits of working within an ecosystem)
