Mouse over the text of any date or day of the week in the body of a
message. Tres cool!

As I said in another thread, I've only been using this for a day or two
and it already is in the category of "I can't imagine how I lived without
it".

I didn't see that thread, and just stumbled over it today. What a
timesaver!

Oops. By "it" above I mean the feature in Mail, not the thread.

Maybe I am being dense, but I tried this with a couple of email messages
and nothing happens. What should I expect to see? Also, which day of the
week are you referring to, the one in the header, or perhaps in the body
of the message?

What were you testing it on?  It applies to incoming and sent messages,
not ones you're currently composing.

> What should I expect to see?

Telling you would ruin the surprise, but it would be obvious if you saw
it.

In the body of the message.

Thanks. I was testing it on the header of an incoming message that
didn't have any dates in the body. Coincidentally, I attended a Mac
users group meeting this afternoon where this feature was demonstrate,
so it certainly became clear to me than. I agree that its way cool! I
can't wait until I upgrade my Mac Pro at work to Leopard. I might go to
work tomorrow just to do that!

Quit holding out, Dave.  For we who are neanderthals, what do it do?

It's nice to see a technology introduced in 1998 finally integrated
properly.

About equally cool:  Mouse over an email address in the body or
signature of a message.

I just see a yellow popup containing the address as a URL. Are you
seeing something else?

I _was_ seeing something else this morning, but it now appears I was
hallucinating then.  I can swear I saw the same thing as with the date,
or with a snail mail address as Jeffrey pointed out, but not now.

Better yet, try a snail mail address.
