Refugee from Things: Help me with email workflow

I’ve been using Things for a while, and it has a lot nice features, but does not do “over the air” syncing— which drives me nuts. So, now I’m coming (back) to Nozbe. Great iPhone client, great web interface, but…

With things, as I read an email, I can hit ctrl-space and a quick entry box pops up letting me create a task in Things automatically creates a link to the original email (in Mail.app on a Mac), so that when I do the task I have access to the email and any attachments. That link is very valuable to me.

So, I gather that I can forward the email to Nozbe but how can I get to the file I need. Is this just something I give up by not having a native client on the Mac?

TIA
