I’ve had a request for the ability to add tags to topics when posting by email. This could work by adding a line as follows starting with `tags:` and then a comma separated list.

```
tags: tag1, tag2, tag3 

```

I can see potential for difficulty, e.g. because there is no autocomplete people won’t know tags that are already being used and create duplicates, but I also think it can be quite powerful and help people to indicate organization they’d like without having to log in - and in my community many people just want to stay in their email.
