i get mine back in seconds but still garbled
 
I just tried again today, it took an hour and a half before I got the mail, and I have turned push on. It was only the first mail I sent out when I tried it at first that came back instantly.
 
Seems to work except that it lost its attachment along the way.
 
It doesn't do attachments, as Brian mentioned on the iPhone thread, but apparently not this one.
 
Thanks. This is a big help. Stating the obvious, I created a contact called "OmniFocus Action Item" with that email address making it easy to forward.

It responds quickly for me using my iPad and its mail app and gmail.

Great that it includes the full message header and the body of the message. That makes it easy to find the email in the mail app if I need to.

Obviously not as efficient or slick as the Clip-O-Tron, but a usable substitute.
 
I am still having problems with the subject and/or the body of the message returning gobbledegook when the link is emailed back to me. Often the body of the message is empty.

This is when sending from Ipad. Windows Outlook seems better and the Iphone also seems a little better.
 
How about posting a screenshot of a message you've composed before you send it to the send-to-omnifocus service?

Thanks for reporting this! The send-to-omnifocus email address should be able to properly decode headers and message text now.

As a general rule, email doesn't make any guarantees about delivery times since a server could be congested or temporarily unavailable. But our server will process a message and send back a reply as soon as it receives a message. (In fact, our send-to-omnifocus autoresponder never even records a copy of the message, it just processes it in memory and immediately starts sending the reply. Of course, if the place we're trying to send the message back to isn't accepting email there could still be a delay before it's delivered, and during that delay the message would be temporarily stored on our server's disk.)

I did notice that some messages were being delayed by our spam greylisting service (in cases where people hadn't sent any other email to omnigroup.com recently)—for a minimum of 5 minutes, but sometimes as long as an hour or more (depending on how often the sending email server retries failed delivery attempts). I've turned off the greylisting service for the send-to-omnifocus autoresponder now, so that delay should no longer happen.

Darnit, I totally meant to add that. Fixing... Thanks. :-)
