Fix one problem, and another comes up. Everyone was a big fan of how A le's .Mac webmail used to sometimes attach a text document when you simply replied to someone. I mean, I know I was utterly overjoyed to go back, copy and paste, remove the attachment, and reply. Wow, that was really easy, wa 't it? Yeah. Well now A le has fixed that with their shiny new "Web 2.0"-ish email. Unfortunately, there's a new problem. When I reply to certain emails (usually Reply All in a list), the addre is often filled out with the person's name, followed by their email addre . This makes se e, as pretty much every email system in the world does this. But A le, ever the i ovator, has made this "break" your email. Trying to send will result in an error, claiming quoted contents aren't valid email addre es. Golly A le, thanks for saving me from my own stupidity! Now I get to manually edit the addre es just to make sure they are correct. Another time waster. Don't get me started on how it's taken our favorite fruit half a decade just to build an almost-usable email client a lication (certainly won't be busine -cla anytime this decade). I mean, waiting until 2007 just to have a proper email client? Super. Anyone else not really digging A le's lame attempts to manage email?
