as advised, use the quicktime for snow leopard install even for lion. this is
because quicktime X is installed in both lion and snow leopard and does not
support certain features needed for authoring / import / export.. so yes this
is correct, it works in snow leopard, lion, etc. so install it.
I will second that. The difference is really noticeable in folders with many

If you're in the new mail view, and not classic, it's the vertical splitter
