OK, I dug into some of the object model for Applescript (this language, from a structure and syntax perspective, sucks) and determined that the script above *almost* works. It's accessing the Message->RawContent instead of Message->Content, so it feeds you MIME instead of Rich Text. I've made a couple of changes, and this script now works for ReQall into OmniFocus. Couple of the numeric constants had to change because of the new text that ReQall sends back.
Let me know if there are any problems.
