After reading the piece on Mac Observer’s review of MailTags, a former Greek student of mine emails to ask how the heck she can get this feature in Mail.app.

Click it and select “Customize…”.

You will see a window like this offering all sorts of additional features:

Any option here that you check will be displayed every time you open a Compose window.

Message priority is on the bottom right. You can choose to have the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) button or the field that specifies a different reply-to address always displayed. You can turn off the signature field if you want. message priority, options, compose window, BCC option, reply-to address, mail.app, Apple Mail. Mail 2.0, Tiger Mail, tips
