Clicking okay, the selected text does make it into the clipping dialog, but the usual email title and mail plane URL do not.

It looks like Mailplane 3.1.3 or higher doesn’t need the plugin?
I have setup the System Preference’s Clipping Shortcut as per the Omni’s instructions. It works for Safari and other apps with link to the original web pages. It kinda works on Mailplane, but instead of having a link back to the original Mailplane’s message, it just copied whatever text I selected. It is not satisfactory.

Exactly! I use Omnifocus to reduce my workload and process my inbox. Now that the clippings plugin has stopped including a link to the email I have to search for each email I need to reply to. This adds steps back into my process, and makes the system much less effective.
Kind of heartbroken about this, I hope it’s on the list of fixes. Is anyone aware of workarounds that can generate a link to a Mailplane email?
Personally, I’d rather complete an extra step to create the link when I’m inputting into Omni rather than hoping I’m pulling the right email after the context has faded from my mind.
I also emailed Mailplane support & would encourage others to as well, so they know there’s interest.
In Mailplane you can go to EDIT—> Copy Mailplane Link. I think that is what you are looking for, but again fixing it so the Service works would be nice.
This works great, thanks! In system preferences > keyboard preferences, I added an App Shortcut and the Menu Title “Save to OmniFocus” and it worked here, here’s a screen shot.
