I've been using Mail.app for almost a year now and love the look of it. The only thing I don't like is the difficulty in applying italics, bold, etc. It just seems so clunky. Maybe I'm missing something, but I do miss having the Outlook menu bar with font choices when composing a message. I don't like always using keyboard combos or opening and selecting fonts from the menu option in Mail.app. Maybe it's better in OS 10.2? I have installed mine yet. (I'm not ready to deal with buying a utility to defrag, etc.) Donald On Friday, October 11, 2002, at 04:28 AM, John A. Ardelli wrote:
