Clip-o-Tron support for Thunderbird? [A: Lacks support for OS X services feat.]

I did not know that this could be done, but now I've implemented it and it's blowing my mind. This may enable me to fix the Mail/Task disconnect which I've wrestled with for years.

I use Mail for many things, and Thunderbird for other things. I see that in Thunderbird, "OmniFocus: Send to InBox" is in the Services menu, but it's tantalizingly greyed-out, and when I go to Clippings in the OmniFocus Preferences, I can't figure out how to configure Thunderbird.

Can anyone help?

I don't/haven't used Thunderbird myself, but aren't all the Services Menu items disabled in Thunderbird? I recall reading somewhere that this is the case with Thunderbird and Firefox.

It's possible one of the more Mac-like Mozilla variants has implemented services support, but I think they try to steer clear of platform-specific features in Firefox and Thunderbird.

Postbox (based on Thunderbird and a bit more Mac-like) doesn't.
