I like my army of Macs. No doubt about it, otherwise I wouldn't have spent the money on them. Alas, I found another issue that I find completely and utterly counter-intuitive. You set the default email client for your login account via the Mail preferences.
C'mon - this is ridiculous. This is the same issue I brought up regarding setting the default browser. You have to go to the Preferences of the applications that Apple builds in for that purpose. Jaguar/10.2 used to have an item in the System Preferences application that allowed you to set this as an Internet related preference. Why they changed this in Panther is beyond me. Well, again, for those of you searching on how to do this, here it is: Open Mail, open Preferences through the Mail menu and change the Default Email Reader to whatever you please.

Thanks! But this sux, cause in order to launch Mail on OSX (Panther) you have to have an email account set up. It bothers me that I'll have to set up an account, and THEN tell it I want to use Thunderbird.
remove -nospam- to email me.
