A long-standing problem with Mac OS X’s Mail and Microsoft Outlook, which Apple should really do something about.
A rather embarrassing bug with plain text/rich text formatting in Mail 2.0.
Yet another unwanted behaviour when dealing with quoted text in Mail 2.0.
Inconsistent behaviour in Mail when copying and pasting quoted text.
Annoying interference between two attachment-related commands in Mail.
A weird delayed quitting behaviour in Mail, and more general considerations about the semi-modal “Open File” dialog box in Mac OS X applications.
The sort order of search results impacts the search order of the Inbox.

I am a long-time Mail user but, ever since I switched to it from Eudora back in 2002, I have maintained the habit of using it without the message preview pane. In other words, my main viewer window in Mail has the list of mailboxes on the left-hand side and then the message list area, […]
