That is all the most stange, as I have explicitely asked Mail.app to use text (and not RTF) as the default format for messages. Please advise Phil Mail.app still confuses me and my colleagues as it tends to split any message I sent into smaller pieces, when there are attachments to the message.

That is all the most stange, as I have explicitely asked Mail.app to use text (and not RTF) as the default format for messages.

Please advise

I hate when mail clients do that. Say I'm experimenting with different clients and haven't decided on one. Or say I want to keep messages on the server as a form of backup. Deleting user data without asking is terrible. Besides flipping this default behavior back the other way, I'd like a way to remove individual messages from the server, like Eudora has always had.

I'm really hoping for improved IMAP performance. The annoying “don’t show the only IMAP sub-mailbox if there’s only one” bug appears to have been fixed.

That might provide a solution for me WRT using Mail.app while I'm at work. Unfortunately, since I can't find anything in the account settings to tell Mail to use the proxy, I'm assuming I need to define it globally in System Prefs (which kind of sucks). Ah well...
