From: Tannie Date: 10:27 on 19 Jan 2004 Subject: mail.app Right. Mail.app. Where shall I start? The absolute #1 on my list of 'why I hate mail.app' is by far the seperate message window. Sure it's great you can close the preview pane and open your messages in a seperate window, but why can't I browse through my mails using that seperate window? Where is the 'next' and 'previous' button? I like seperate windows, but this is too much! I want to browse through my list of mails and if I didn't want that, I wouldn't do it. But the option is not even there! I hate it. -- Tannie

What doe it do that the attached message window doesn't? Not to deny your legitimate hate or nothing. Here, have another: What I don't like about mail.app? It doesn't have an option for "I read my mail on another computer, I just want to send mail from here kthanksluvyabyebye".
From: Rob Carlson Date: 16:54 on 19 Jan 2004 Subject: Re: mail.app I have a fundamental hate with abstraction level-leaky software. I know Tannie's current en0 hardware address is 00:0A:95:69:4B:1A. You all know that mine is 00:03:93:de:fd:20. Why? It's not like we're on the same network frame and have a NEED to know this. Because the actual number of my card's address (not a hash) is used to create the Message-ID for all e-mail addresses of all Mail.app users on my machine. Oh well, at least en0's hwaddr can be changed from the command line. It _could_ be the unchangeable unique ID number embedded into my Pentium III chip[0], but that's hardware hate.

The only time I've changed a MAC address was when the NVRAM battery on my Sparcstation died. Now all my Sparcs have MAC addresses starting with C0:FF:EE. :)

One thing that's been bugging me, if Mail.app threads some messages together and you hit return it opens *every* message in it's own window. That's really fun. They obviously know something is busted, you get a "Do you really want to open XX windows?" message if the thread is long. What would be wrong with just opening the first unread message? Then if they had prev/next buttons it would work nicely. Gavin.
From: Tannie Date: 12:09 on 01 Nov 2004 Subject: mail.app I sometimes get a lot of mail. Mail.app seems to handle it well mostly. Today I didn't really get that much mail, about ten in total. Mail.app didn't seem to handle it that well: <http://images.tanniespace.com/mailbox.jpg>; I could describe, but this picture can say it much better. So very hateful if your mailprogram can't even count 2 e-mails.... Just a minor hate. cheers Tanja -- ... Virus checking initiated... Completed. All viruses functioning normally.
