Send the capture

- Capture hands off only the supported types listed above. Complete any confirmation or compose screen shown by Evernote.
Limits and troubleshooting
Limits
- Evernote email import supports one configured tag here.
- Evernote does not support setting a reminder time through this route; only the date is included.

Troubleshooting
