Not with my current scripts. I haven't been convinced of a reason for duplicating projects, contexts, and due dates in two applications. Wouldn't that violate the principle of minimizing the number of places to look for actions?

2. Does anyone know about how MailTags might work w/ OS10.5?

See this thread.

Now you can click that URL to open the associated message.

It turns out that only a subset of these Mailtag-enabled URLs are recognised by Omnifocus. Others are not made blue and clickable.


Something like:

message://D7215142-3B98-4038-A601-8078C9913365@mac.com

is recognized successfully, but others, like

message://p06240800c2d1111bfef2@[172.17.125.233]
and

message://LYRIS-3853088-212531-2007.07.27-10.30.02--vandyck#gmall.com@email.nationalgallery.org.uk


are not.

Thanks for pointing that out. Please don't forget to Send Feedback to Omni on that.

I know this is off-topic, but I thought somebody using Mail Act-On might be able to help me. Could someone post a screen shot of the "Act-On Stop Rule" that Mail Act-On is supposed to install automatically? No matter how many times I install Mail Act-On, that rule doesn't get added to my rules. And no matter how many times I check or uncheck "Check for Act-On Stop Rule at Launch," Mail Act-On never checks for that stop rule at launch.

I wrote to the developer about this but never received a response.

Thanks.

Description: |Act-On: Stop Processing Receive Rules|
If |any| of the following conditions are met:
|Every Message|
Perform the following actions:
|Stop evaluating rules|

Thanks! I figured it had to be something simple like that, but I didn't want to tempt Fate.

Somehow it seems that the transfer between mailtags sometimes mixes up the emails and the highlighted text that I want to send over to OF. So I get the heading of the "new" email but as attachment the text i have highlighted the last time I wanted to send an email over to the OF inbox...
Thanks for your help in advance!!!
Cheers

The "selected text" inclusion mode is just flakey. I'm planning to remove it as the default in the next release of the scripts. In the meantime, I recommend changing the textInclusionMode to fullContent. The instructions provide more details on how to do so.

Works flawlessly now, thanks!
I am looking forward to test-driving you next script versions!
Keep up the good work! :)
