In regard to #4: I was checking to see if you can drag the icon from the info window to your desktop, to save the original. No such luck.

However, if you open the info window on mail and drag the icon under Preview to the desktop, you’ve just physically moved the Mail application from from /Applications to your Desktop.

Kinda scary, that one.

(This may not be new, but I never noticed it until now)

Sorry, typo… in my above comment I meant delete the todo in iCal and the todo gets automatically deleted from the Mail message as well.

Your comment about MailTags being “a more excellent way” of attaching notes to mail messages is only partly true. It’s true that it’s a better way of tagging, but for adding todos and appointments from Mail, the Leopard Mail functionality is superior to MailTags. I absolutely love how a little legal pad opens up above the email with the todo, right inside Mail, and it synchronizes automatically across apps. For instance, delete the todo in Mail, and it will delete it from the Mail message as well. Give it a try.

MailTags is really only useful now for mail tagging.

You mean an ADB I Mouse! Those were my favorites. The II weren’t bad eaither, but less stylish. Yet the first contextual menu menu I ever saw (it was in Excel 4) was activated through command-option-click.

Wait a minute! I think of the old language as that Mac time before two-button mice. My father-in-law has one of those Mac one-button mice, an oblong, chunky thing with a large square button on the top.

Just to rectify: right click is control-click in the “old language.”
