So I am having to use Microsoft Outlook on my PC at work now and it's the XP version, so not even the latest one. And there's so many thing that I like better about it than Mail (except for the crashing part). For one, in Outlook there are things called "Stationary" where you can have some stationary in the background of all of your messages. I'm not talking about a cutsie stationary but corporate letterhead type stationary is nice. Also I don't like how Mail makes it so that you can't have signatures for specific accounts. I have mail checking my work e-mail, home e-mail, and ebay e-mail. I wish I could say "OK, Work e-mail gets only this signature every single time" Anyone know any work arounds to these problems? Does Mail get improved any in Tiger to support any of thee Outlook features?

The stationary thing is basically HTML email... and not everyone can (or wants to) view it.
I totally agree about the sig specific to the account. I don't know of a hack, but I'm sure it's something Apple is working on. Mail is getting a major overhaul in Tiger, so keep your fingers crossed.

From Apple's site:
"HTML Message Composition
Mail uses the Safari engine to format newly composed email using HTML."

In 8A425 you can reply to/forward an HTML message in HTML but I can't get it to compose an email in HTML.

The info on the new pages on Apple's site say that the default format for Mail.app 2.0 is HTML. I don't like that, and I don't know what sort of tools they will be providing for composition, but there it is.
Oh.. and per-account signatures are a new feature.

I would imagine to do a stationary one would construct an HTML page in their favorite HTML editor (Now in TexEdit!) and then they would save that HTML and perhaps load that as their "signature" and it would default as the stationary?

Where? It certainly isn't. I can only get it to make RTF or text mails, but I can reply to an HTML mail in HTML format.
