It is hard to pick out the best new features, but here are three that I really like that I think have universal appeal.
The Mail application has added a number of new features. You can now add stationary with built-in templates for invitations, announcements, etc. These templates allow you to include photos. You can also now add numbering, bullets, indentions, and colored text to your messages.
| Three Mail Tips | |
|---|---|
| Choose a stationary template for your e-mail that can be read by both Macs and PCs. | The add stationary button is on the far right of the tool bar.
When you click the button, your stationary choices open for you and you just click one to choose it. You can even make a choice after you have created your text and Mail will fit your content into the stationary. |
| Add an image to a Stationary Template in a designated spot
Make sure that your image is in a format that does well across the Internet (.jpg, .pdf, .gif, etc.) |
Drag and drop the image into the designated space.
Or Click Photo Browser in the toolbar to view available images in your iPhoto files and then drag an image from there. Or Click the Attach button in the toolbar or choose File > Attach File, and then select an image from wherever it might be on your computer. |
| Use numbering, bullets, indentations, and colored text in your e-mails. | While in the process of creating a new message select the Formats Menu.
Choose “lists” to get bullets or numbers. Choose “Indentions” to indent. For colored text choose the color icon from the menu bar and select the color you wish to use. You will be required to check a box making your document a “Rich Text” document to proceed. |
Another cool new feature include in Mail is the ability to create a new address card in Address Book from information included in the content of an e-mail message. (This only works if you are receiving your mail through the Mail application.)
| Click on the address in the body of the message.
A box forms around the information with an arrow in the bottom right corner. Click on that arrow.
