[OT] Re: Adding a message to a mailbox in Mail

I hope you and the Mail team will be able to work that in. I also have a very tiny and non-critical UI request. It is that traditionally, one can choose any of the buttons in modal dialogs which don't have text boxes by typing a single key without modifiers. For example when the options are "Save", "Don't Save", and "Cancel", then one could just type a "d" and the 'DontSave' action would be performed.

I assume you're not talking about Applescript here? I've actually not heard of that convention before of using a single key. Sounds useful, though.

Or a more common one is cmd-first letter of the button. Both of these are very old Mac UI conventions.

Not just a convention, the standard "Save, Cancel, Don't Save" dialog as implemented by the OS supports this. Unfortunately -- and perhaps the reason Cricket never heard of it -- this behavior is not supported by the sheet version, only by the modal dialog version.
