Back in the early days (OmniFocus 1.0 on 10.5.1), I posted "Send to Inbox from Mail works ... almost" in a 33-note thread about Mail and OmniFocus.

Unfortunately, the "Show in Mailbox" problem is still with us. Here's the updated scenario:
  1. Select a key sentence in a Mail message.
  2. Use my keyboard shortcut for "Services > OmniFocus: Send to Inbox".
  3. When the Quick Entry appears, select a destination project, and click "Save".
  4. File the message in one of my client folders.
  5. Switch to OmniFocus, select planning mode, and select the destination project.
  6. Select the new task (which was added at the end of the project).
  7. Click the "notes" icon – a single "From ..." line appears.
  8. Click in that single line, and the note expands to show the key sentence from the message.
  9. Click the "Original Message" link, and Mail comes to the front, displaying the entire message (with attached images) in a new Window.
  10. Click "Show in Mailbox" in the message window, and Mail expands MAILBOXES > Inbox (in the sidebar) to show all accounts, and selects the account on which the message arrived.
Step 10 has failed – showing the Inbox folder instead of the folder where the message actually resides (from step 4).

Although "Show in Maibox" is a Mail feature, it's not clear whether the failure is due to entirely to Mail or whether OmniFocus has a hand in the game with its "Original Message" link.

I hope this problem can be fixed by OmniFocus because I don't have much faith in the Apple Mother Ship paying attention to a "Show in Mailbox" bug report when another application is involved.
