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:
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.

Unfortunately, the "Show in Mailbox" problem is still with us. Here's the updated scenario:
- Select a key sentence in a Mail message.
- Use my keyboard shortcut for "Services > OmniFocus: Send to Inbox".
- When the Quick Entry appears, select a destination project, and click "Save".
- File the message in one of my client folders.
- Switch to OmniFocus, select planning mode, and select the destination project.
- Select the new task (which was added at the end of the project).
- Click the "notes" icon – a single "From ..." line appears.
- Click in that single line, and the note expands to show the key sentence from the message.
- Click the "Original Message" link, and Mail comes to the front, displaying the entire message (with attached images) in a new Window.
- 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.
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.
