Probably about the time the most popular user mail agent on the internet quits sending HTML by default, and people starts wrapping lines at 78 characters as RFC 2822 says they should. You have to ask Apple why they wouldn't do that. I think the answer is obvious - if people could get the Mac interface without having to pay for a Mac, why would anyone buy a Mac? I also recommend you check out what Jef Raskin - who designed the original Mac interface - has to say about the OSX interface. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
