There’s a lot of things I’ve grown to like about Leopard. Quick Look and Cover Flow have made pretty dramatic improvements to my work flow and I’ve even warmed to Spaces despite it’s pretty severe handicaps. The jury is still out on Time Machine and will likely stay that way until I am forced to use it. There is one thing in particular I’ve discovered about Mail that’s really got my panties in a knot, however.
I swear in Tiger I could surpress the preview pane for the Junk folder alone or if not I could at least disable automatic preview of image attachments. I can turn off remote images via HTML but actually disabling attachments seems to be impossible. What’s more, I can’t seem to write a rule that will match any message with an attachment so I can’t even safely dispose of them should they arrive. Oddly enough, I CAN write a Smart Mailbox that will match any message with an attachment. I figured they’d be backed by the same code but apparently not.
Hrumprh.
