Gmail – Create Dynamic Gmail Labels From the Email’s Subject

gmailgmail-filtersgmail-labels

Is there anyway to set up a filter that will create and apply a new label for every word in the subject line? Something like label:{subject} maybe?

Obviously I wouldn't be using this for standard gmail use, I'm trying to setup gmail as a kind of note taking repository and would love to be able to just enter tags in the subject and have them automatically turned into labels.

I've never run across a way to create labels like you asked, but you can use gmail's search to do the same thing. For example, you can search for:

subject:Monkeys

Which will return all emails with Monkeys in the subject. You can also set up bookmarks for common searches.
