Just to show you can't please everybody, I have to say that I prefer it
as it is, since I like to set the default positions as I want them not as
someone else tells me.  Smacks of M$ that does, although if the default
could be toggled to 'forced position or free' it wouldn't matter.

I usually have the mail browser (3 pane view) open and the control bar
(the one with icons for send, reply and so on) open, and the one thing I
find irritating when using PM in X is that minimising the browser window
(send to dock) leaves the control bar still in position.  OK, so I can
use cmnd-H and do it that way, but is there any way that both windows
could be linked so that the buttons on the browser window controlled both
windows simultaneously?  Alternatively does anyone know of another workround?

I suspect it is not possible because of limitations in X, but I certainly
think it would be useful.  It would in a future release, be possible to
combine both into one window but this would require major programming
effort and would not be to everyones liking.

Cheers,

Chris
