Click OK to lose your mail in Mail.app
Over at The Tao of Mac, Rui Carmo reports
on how Mail.app eats your email.
If a particular SMTP server is not available and you click OK to Mail.app’s suggestion of resending it from another server before Mail.app re-renders the message, it vanishes.
Well, almost. Everything vanishes except the headers, so the recipient gets a tantalising hint of what might have been.
As Rui says, Brilliant.
