Leopard Mail, “like Entourage (but better)”
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006
UPDATE: Be careful — April Fool’s joke ahead. Completely sucked me in, being reposted at a later date from an original thread on MacNN 
. Don’t let it get you…
According to a post on the osx86project forum by someone who claims to be “in the know”, Leopard Mail will be quite a different beast:
Mail, Address Book, iCal, iSight, and iChat will become one integrated application, much like Entourage (but better). Included is a customizable Auto Responder and voice activated dialing via numbers or Address Book names. You will be able to automatically send email & initiate iSight meetings, etc. that are linked/pegged to specific calendar events.
Never have I so fervently hoped a rumour wrong.
The information comes as part of a long list of features that the poster suggests will be part of OS 10.5.
He says “don’t quote me”, so you had better not.
Or is it just a troll? See Scott Morrison’s remarks in the comments.
