Is there anyway yet of being able to send tasks to or from OF by email?.
Is this a function that has been requested. Having recently purchased OF I am not yet aware of changes that may have been requested.

If you want to send a task from OmniFocus, just tap on the action, then tap the sharing icon next to the trash can (which looks like a rectangle with a curved arrow). Doing so will generate an email message with the action name as subject, and a magic link "Add to OmniFocus" that when clicked by the recipient will add the action name and any associated dates and notes to OmniFocus' quick entry facility (and is human readable if the recipient doesn't use OmniFocus).

To get a task into OmniFocus by email without having a Mac involved, try the service described in Turning email into actions: send-to-omnifocus@omnigroup.com (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=19420)
