Congrats on the beta!

I downloaded it and bought my upgrade this afternoon.

After some initial use, here are some of my observations:

- after every mail check PM is now bouncing the dock icon, regardless of
whether there was actually any new mail.

- sleeping the computer in one location (wireless network) then awaking
in another causes PM to hang (stack trace on request).

- HTML messages displayed in the preview pane are still missing the
headers (to, from, date, etc.)  This is persistent from 5.x.

- in the attachment list a message window, the selection colour persists
(is not drawn correctly) when selecting adjacent members in the list
when "Finder-like lists" is not enabled.

- in the main message list, the text becomes illegible for selected
items when any label is applied.  The list seems intelligent enough to
invert the unlabeled black text to white, but for any other colour.

- I like the appearance of the Finder-like display's alternating row
backgrounds but prefer the performance and text-selection behaviour of
the original PM scheme.  Any chance we could get the best of both worlds?

- Subjectively, the app feels slightly more sluggish than 5.x, but
perhaps I am imagining it.

- I guess nothing has been done about revamping IMAP support, so I'll
keep using Apple Mail for that.

- QuickLook support for attachments is welcome (and is probably the only
new feature I've found so far that I'll appreciate on a regular basis).
Now, wouldn't it be slick if the preview windows slid up into and out of
view similar to the Finder and Apple Mail...)

Lookin forward to the next build!
