Gag. Mail might actually be useful if Apple had had the brains to include simple stuff like *threading* of messages. All the fluff in the world, and the message sorting of pine. Go figure. When I got my first Mac (eMac running 10.1.5 w/ the Jaguar disks in the box) I'd been reading all these wonderful reviews of the various mail clients for OS X, and the authors especially gushed about Mail.app. When I finally figured out it plain didn't support message threading, and found out that a lot of other people had the same gripe, I wondered, 'what in the blue blazes do these writers actually use email for?' I guess 'normal' people don't subscribe to mailing-lists, where threading is *essential*. Monte (btw, disregard if they finally fixed this in the updates for 10.2.5. I haven't bothered to open mail since, oh, 10.1.5 or so.)
