As Bob replied in another thread there is currently no such automation in
hyperbole. But is an interesting idea to lift hyrolo for more streamlined
email management.
Having said that, `hyrolo-add´ has some support for identifying who sent a mail
and insert that into your hyrolo. This would be a manual operation to activate
that on an email. I understand you want automation but for now that might help
you cope with the situation?
For a solution even more in line with Hyperbole you could define an implicit
button that would call hyrolo-add. Something like this: (It assumes you are
reading your mail in gnus and it is not heavily tested.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defib my-hyrolo-add ()
"With action key on a line beginning with From: call hyrolo-add.
Only active in gnus-article-mode."
(if (eq major-mode 'gnus-article-mode)
(save-excursion
(beginning-of-line)
(when (looking-at "From:")
(ibut:label-set (buffer-substring-no-properties
(line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)))
(hact (lambda () (call-interactively 'hyrolo-add)))))))
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you hit the action-key on a line that starts with From: in
gnus-article-mode (AND if no other implicit button takes precedence) it will
call hyrolo-add.

I'm thinking here that Hyperbole tries not to enforce any particular
workflow. Instead it tries to support you by giving you the tools you need for
implementing the workflow you want.
