[OSX-Users] Re: Lion Mail.app

[Steve Harris]

I really like the old Mail.app, with Mail Act-On it was as close as I could get to mutt-with-pictures. I fear the Lion changes.

Every other GUI mail client I've tried has been unacceptably slow to use, including the iOS Mail.app.

Are there any act-on users who've upgraded? There's a Lion version now, but I'm not sure how it will interact.
