Omnifocus has two ways for getting tasks into its Inbox: 1) Install the Clip-O-Tron 3000 (they have a sense of humour at Omni!) into Mail then when you are looking at an email you want to handle in Omnifocus you press your chosen shortcut key and the email (or selected portion) is made into an Inbox entry complete with a link back to the original in Mail. You can then process the action as you want.
2) I quote here from the Omnifocus help: "When it’s not convenient for you to put data directly into OmniFocus (like when you’re sitting at a someone else’s computer), you can send a specially-formatted email to yourself and OmniFocus will process it later. To set it up, use the OmniFocus Mail preference pane. To turn on Mail processing, select the Add Mail Rule to create OmniFocus actions checkbox. Once the Mail Rule has been added, you can tell OmniFocus what kind of messages to look for. One way is to look for messages that have +omnifocus before the @ sign in the destination address, as in [email protected]. If your mail service is properly set up for this type of addressing, the message arrives in the correct mailbox as if the plus sign and the extra word were not there, but they act as a label for special handling. The other way is to look for messages whose subject line begins with certain characters, -- by default. If you want to keep the messages that OmniFocus processes in a certain mailbox, select Archive processed messages and choose a mailbox. Otherwise, they are deleted. The Allowed From addresses list is automatically filled with any email addresses on the “Me” card in Address Book. You can add more addresses, if you expect to be sending yourself OmniFocus actions from any other accounts." You can specify the Project and Context too and have it automatically filed in the right place. Omni have a two week free trial of the Mac version here: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnifocus/download/ I hope that's of help.
