I see. I agree with you--the toolbar buttons do look more alike in=20
Mail 10.4.=20

I haven't been up-to-date on the Apple UI Guidelines for a few years.=20
But as I understand things at Apple, you have to break some rules to=20

Am I seeing list lag or does the list not like me tonight?

No beer, but in your honor I'll crack one soon.

It packs beautifully. No open languages or Storeman.

I do use SFL by Coperniva (new word!!). The short URLs have the same
result.

I think what you're seeing is the system-wide keyboard-access
highlighting (Keyboard Shortcuts). Use "Keyboard & Mouse" preferences
(tab: Keyboard Shortcuts) to set it to "Text boxes and lists only."
(Or toggle with Ctrl-F7).

Have been running Tiger since the day it was released - no problems to
report. Feels faster than 10.3. Some of the new toolbars look odd - going
against Apple's own design criteria for uniqueness between all buttons
(unique shapes emphasizing the outline form), but overall, my impression
with Tiger so far is very positive.
