Now I've got mystery red message counts in my dock but when I open Mail I cannot tell where the hell the unread message is! What possible reason is there to remove the message counts in the sidebar?

I use Eudora because I often embedded photos in with my message. I feel this enriches and shortens the message. Pictures at the top of a message is a nice try at being effect communications. Apple acknowledges the need for pictures with their solution so it stands to reason that embedded pictures is more complete solution as has been the practice with published periodicals for tens of years. To Apple I say about Mail, nice start. Time to finish the job. Jim My gripe continues to be the lack of ability to insert photo, scaled to desired size, in with the text of an email.

Untrue.

The To Do viewer in Mail is very much a mail.app feature.

It's not actually a "mail.app" feature. It's a service that will allow you to turn stuff into to-dos in many applications system-wide. I hope the templates feature allows you to create your own templates that are not necessarily html based. The "Notes" feature, seems to hint at feature bloat. And the RSS feed support in Mail screams feature bloat. Especially for an Apple app. Apple usually tends to try to keep things simple, and not clutter their apps up. Usually that means people looking for high power apps have to buy them separate from the system default apps, or get plug-ins to extend them. This is a suprising departure.

There were several threads on the Apple discussions forums which disappeared...could have been "deleted" or they may simply have fallen off the chart because of the very limited space allocated to some of the forums...you never know for sure, but Apple has a habit of making unfavorable comments go "bye! bye!" It is rather embarrassing when I see people sending out email with this continuing error. (I don't use Mail, but some family members do. Some of them now use Firefox rather than Safari, among other reasons, because I have it set up with an extension to make a TinyURL for them to insert in email. I will probably drop Apple another "why hasn't this been taken care of?" note. Cheers Sam Says,

The new features are fantastic for me at home where my wife and kids use the computer and really don't need or can't be bothered with Office, and when I am sending the odd mail to a friend or my parents (with all the pictures attached). I would never use it at work (tried that already and had to switch back!). Bravo Apple!!!! Adding these simple features really makes life simpler for the rest of us!
