Probably too late for such a change, and I realize it's minor, but I thought
I'd mention it anyway. Can't hurt to ask, right?

This has to do with interface. The main Entourage window (when in mail) has
the following button order:

New  Reply  Reply All  Forward  Flag  Link  Print  Delete  Send&Receive
Move  Categories  Find

When you open a new window, the order changes to:

Previous  Next  Reply  Reply All  Forward  Link  Flag  Edit  Print
Delete  ReWrap  Font Size  Move  Categories


Since one of the hallmarks of good UI is locational consistency in UI
elements, I think it would be great if the order of the buttons was
consistent between the windows. I realize that this would take some
fiddling, since there are some differences in the buttons that appear in
each window, but for those that are the same, it would be great if they were
in the same place in the windows. (Also, this is mainly an issue for those
of us who do not use the preview pane ;))

For example, Delete is in one place in the main window, and I am used to it
being there. When I open a message, and decide to delete it, I often
accidentally hit the Edit button, since it resides where delete is usually.
(Another example is that Link and Flag are reversed between the windows.)

I would think that the following order would be more consistent
