1) If OmniFocus is not running when I capture a message from Mail, the Clip-O-Tron 3000 will launch OF and will properly add the message to OF.

2) If OF is already running when capturing an email, the email is not clipped to OF.

It would be interesting to hear if others get the same results with their configuration.

Edited to add: I am using a PPC, so Intel users could possible see different results.

Using the latest OmniFocus sneaky peak, OS X 10.5.6, Safari 4 beta, and an Intel MacBook Pro, the Clip-O-Tron 3000 consistently works for me, whether OmniFocus is running or not (i.e. the clipping service will launch OmniFocus if it's not already running). This has been the case ever since the April 17 update that "Added a compatibility fix for AppleScript clipping handlers."

Note that I've also got OmniFocus configured to send clippings to the Quick Entry window first, if that makes any difference.

What does not work for me is the processing of the +omnifocus Mail rule. It's been broken ever since I installed the Safari 4 beta. It's been my understanding that this is the issue that requires Apple's involvement to be resolved.
