The Sneaky Peek (1.1) is required for syncing with the iPhone version. OF 1.0.3 doesn't include sync capability.

Also, the sneaky peek uses a different database format, so I don't think reverting from 1.1 to 1.0.3 is possible without wiping the data.

Also, you can also use Help --> Send Feedback to contact the Omni support ninjas directly. They are phenomenally helpful, though probably a bit backlogged with the App Store launch.

I had a persistent problem with gmail and the clip-o-tron, until I made a smart mailbox that collected my unread mail from "All Mail" instead of the inbox. If you're using gmail you might want to give that a try.

Sean:
Thanks for finally figuring out what the problem was. It was driving me crazy since there were occasions when the script would work. In looking back at earlier messages, I had inadvertently inserted a space. Now, to always remember to insert the space......

The solution turned out to be pretty simple in my case. Adding a space between the "--" and action title in my message subject caused the actions to be created in OmniFocus. i.e. - "-- my action" = good; "--my action" = bad

In the body of the email message, having the space after the "--" did not have any affect for additional actions. However, there did need to be at least one blank return line between actions. i.e. - this i okay for the message subject:

--my first action

-- my second action

This was on Mac OS 10.4.11 with OmniFocus 1.0.1 sneakypeek (v77.1.3.0.97557), with the Mail Clip-O-Tron 3000 enabled.

Here is the error printed to the Console when the subject line didn't have the space after "--" or if there wasn't a blank line between message body actions:

brett, make sure you're sending plain text email - applescript doesn't play well with HTML or rich text email. That help at all?

[Brian]

nestorph - you probably accidentally typed a space into that field in the preferences. Remove the space from prefs and it should work with "--" or "-- ".

Mail to OF just seems to have given up in the last few days. Curiously I can send myself from the same computer an email to action with '--' at the front of the subject and everything is fine but from my work computer the mail gets filed in Mail as I stipulate in my OF Preferences but does not appear in the OF INBOX (and I have not set any Context or Project characters).

The Console shows the following errors being raised:

01/04/2009 10:26:40 OmniFocus[9505] OmniFocus calling process_message in MailAction script
01/04/2009 10:26:41 Mail[9540] An exception was thrown during execution of an NSScriptCommand...
01/04/2009 10:26:41 Mail[9540] NSData* -[WebArchive data](WebArchive*, objc_selector*) was called from a secondary thread

I have tried everything in this thread including sending using plain text and even re-installing but nothing seems to work!

Help please! :confused:

Did you recently install the Safari 4 beta? It upgrades some system components which affect many other applications, including Mail.

[magi52]

Yes!

Is there a fix in the works for omnifocus and mail on systems running Safari 4?

I am also a victim of the same error:

7/4/09 6:12:21 PM OmniFocus[13592] OmniFocus calling process_message in MailAction script 
7/4/09 6:12:22 PM Mail[13595] An exception was thrown during execution of an NSScriptCommand...

I really rely on mail->OF and was super-sad to suddenly discover a raft of actions my wife sent me that silently failed to reach my OF inbox.

Thanks a lot for that heads-up Ken - that was exactly my problem as it turned out. Uninstalled Safari 4 beta and presto, mail rule to Omnifocus started working again.
