I had problems in previous versions, but with Leopard, Mail now has "Quote Level" as a contextual menu item when composing a reply, which has improved matters greatly. Yes, there were keyboard shortcuts for this in previous version of Mail, but sometimes they plain wouldn't work, and I'd have to resort to copying the message to TextWrangler and back to get what I wanted. See Mail Preferences -> Composing for the options available to you. -- Paul Sture

I much prefer an offline reading capability since it means I can take my laptop anywhere to read stuff. And wireless access is still outrageously expensive in many hotels here in Switzerland. I have offline capability using the leafnode package - it's a lightweight news server which just downloads news groups you are interested in. > > The most recent version that I can > > find is dated 2007.

It certainly was in killer-app territory when we were all still on dial up connections. The first one I bought (in 1995) paid for itself within a couple of weeks. -- Paul Sture

Nowadays it is rare that I see anyone using this convention properly. Unfortunately that applies to many who should know better, but are constrained by "corporate standards". -- Paul Sture
