How to automate reQall with Omnifocus?
Is there a way to get reQall text automatically inputted into either Omnifocus for Mac or Omnifocus for iPhone? (P.S. If you're going to send me to AppleScript jail, I might just as well switch to a PC and learn to use VIsual Basic.)

Inappropriate?We currently provide the ability to get things out of reQall by email, SMS, iCal feed and RSS feed. I've recorded your feature request to integrate more closely with OmniFocus.

Inappropriate?No worries, Omni already wrote the AppleScript for you ;-)
I made this work last night with OmniFocus 1.5 via Mail.app. I enabled email notification on reqall, then in OmniFocus Preferences->Mail enabled the "Add Mail Rule..." and added reqall@reqall.com as an "Allowed From Address".

Then, in Mail.app Preferences->Rules I modified the rule OmniFocus created so that if From Contains reqall@reqall.com the actions are performed.

That's it, new reqall items are added to your OmniFocus inbox whenever you check your mail. It would be nice to be able to set the context and project directly based on the reqall message, I'm going to look into that later.
I haven't tried, but I'm pretty sure you could make this work in Entourage or any other email app which can trigger AppleScripts from Rules/Actions.
Cheers! -
