  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.
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?
