Announcing MailEnhancer v1.11:
http://home.insightbb.com/~n9yty1/MailEnhancer/
MailEnhancer is a mail bundle that enhances the operation of Apple's
Mail application. It provides four enhancements which are detailed
below. Each one can be turned on or off individually through a
preferences panel.

This software comes with no guarantees, warrantees, promises, pledges,
or anything of the sort. It has worked very well for me and several
great people who have tested it for me, but I cannot be held
responsible for anything it should happen to do to your system.
It is distributed as FREEWARE. Enjoy.

Show activity viewer when doing a manual mail check:
This will cause the activity viewer window to open (if it's not already
open) when you do a manual check for email. If the window was already
open, nothing changes. However, if it was not open, MailEnhancer will
open it for you while it's checking mail, and then close it when it is
finished.
Display a status dialog after doing a manual mail check:
This mimics the behavior of many other email programs. When you do a
manual check for new mail, it will finish by putting up a dialog window
telling you how many new mail messages you received or if you didn't
receive any.
Dock icon count shows all unread instead of just inbox unread:
This changes the behavior of the message count shown in the dock icon.
Normally it only shows the count of unread messages which are in your
Inbox. Turning this feature on will cause it to show the total count of
unread messages in every mailbox except for Junk, Out, Drafts, Sent,
and Trash.
The update process has a built-in two (2) second delay. This prevents
it from getting in any sort of "busy lock" with Mail when Mail is doing
things that rapidly change the unread message counts (like getting new
mail, marking a block of messages as read, etc...) This is a
"perpetually renewing delay" until it expires... So at the first update
request it will start to wait for two seconds. If something changes the
count while it's waiting, it starts waiting again, and so on until
eventually two seconds elapse with nothing having changed and the
count is then updated in the dock icon.
Automatically update signature to match sending address:
This will cause your signature to match the email address you are
sending the message from. Rather than create a sophisticated preference
scheme where you pick a default signature for each account or email
address, MailEnhancer uses a much simpler approach...
If you have a signature with the name set to your email address, then
it will use that signature when you send from that address. While
composing a message, if you change your email address, MailEnhancer
will change the signature to match (if one exists). However, if you
manually change the signature to something that does not match,
MailEnhancer will not override your choice (for this email) unless you
put it back to one that matches your current email address, and then it
will continue to keep them in sync. This might sound complicated,
perhaps, but I think you will find it intuitive once you start to use
it.
