Can't say that surprises me much. Other than Operating Systems, Apple has always been pretty weak IMPO when it comes to creating its own software. Go all the way back to MacWrite, Okay, so it was free and the only Mac word processor for a while, but it remained a pathetic application for years. Maybe MacWrite II would be a better example. It was still a feature-deprived application. I seem to recall that MacTerminal was pretty weak compared to other terminal programs. Etc., etc. So I stay away from Apple software whenever possible. >(Unless, maybe, >you want to learn to program applescript.) I'm constantly being >frustrated, having switched to Mail from Eudora when I got my newest >computer. I'm constantly on the verge of fleeing back to Eudora. But >inertia wins out every time. Well, as I indicated, I'm prejudiced. With its x-settings and plug-ins, I can't see very many email clients measuring up to Eudora (with the exception of it's handling of HTML). And I'm really not trying to start an email client war on the list. >(BTW, I have dozens of "accounts" I use to send mail with my many >"hats" & administer lists & I used Eudora's stationery all the time so >I'm not a normal mail user.) I have a bunch myself, although I'm not into the dozens. Just the ability of setting a filter to make an incoming message a specific Personality, makes replying with the different Personality effortless. And once you get used to using Stationary, how do you ever go back to being without it? >ANYWAY, I haven't found a way to change the attribution line in Mail. Thanks for the first-hand scoop. >Also, I looked for "X-Mailer" headers in list messages to see what mail >programs people were using & couldn't find any - looks like the list >software might strip that?? I really don't know. The only time I look for a client header is in Usenet, because I can usually identify Mac users by their news reader.
