I hear a rumour that in 10.3 they are reworking Mail.app again. I want all those features that you are all posting, but I also don't want the app to grind to a halt and corrupt mailboxes when they get "large" (400 messages and 30 megabytes). AFAIK this app has not changed much since the NeXT days. Mail.app is useable but not quite there yet imho. -- Tarik Bilgin Opalblue tarik at opalblue.com
