Apple Mail doesn't let me create more than one account for the same
domain. (OK it allows comma-separated email addresses but that's
awkward
to use since I often don't know which email address I used for a
particular newsletter).
Humm... yeah, you can't set up multiple accounts using the same
username. However, that only matters if you plan to collect the mail
from multiple accounts. Based on your setup, it seems you only care
about sending the mail. So put in a bogus username and password to
get past there, and then if you require mail authentication for
sending, put in real info for that section.
The draw back to this is, I don't think there is a way to tell it not
to collect certain accounts when you click the Get Mail button in the
browser. That means your bogus accounts will attempt to be checked,
which will give you errors.
2. Apple Mail lets me change the message subject of an incoming
message
*only* if I first drag the message into the "Drafts" folder. I can do
that (it's a pain) but when I drag it out again, any links which
arrived
as blue, underlined, clickable are no longer so.
Check your message prefs. You may have it set to compose everything
as plain text. If you do, then once you go to the drafts folder, it
is converting your message to your preferred plain text, and thus you
lose the hyperlinks. You can get around that by selecting the
hyperlink and choosing Mail Menu -> Services -> Open URL. But that
sure ain't as nice as clicking a link :-(
3. I can set the colour of a message title but the colour forms a
great
swathe of background around the text, instead of simply coloring
the text
itself. It looks horrible!
Yeah, I don't like that either.
