[OSX-Users] Re: Lion Mail.app

[Nick Gibbins]

I'm with Jules on this; trackpad scrolling feels wrong (even though I know 
it makes more sense now than it did before - I'm dragging the document, not 
the scrollbar), but I'll stick with it until it feels right.

Mail still feels awkward, though.

Most of the Macs I use are other people's and so will be setup the new default way, so it's a very necessary investment for me. If you only ever use your own computers, then switch it whichever way feels easier for you.
