Pierre Igot at Betalogue is one of Mail.app‘s most eagle-eyed critics. He finds design flaws and departures from Apple’s own Human Interface Guidelines that no one else notices.

In a long and interesting post, he writes about using Apple Mail without the Preview Pane, about several foibles in the way Spotlight is used in Mail.app, about the inconsistent use of hyperlinks in Mail’s interface and about more elegant ways this could have been done.

I never go away from his blog without learning something. Worth a read.
