Using email app bundled with iMAC G5 OS 10.4.6 (Mail version 2.0.7)
Font size fine for all incoming and outgoing email except for one
frequent user (incoming).  For that user all header sizes fine but body

My company recently updated my software to 10.4. The Command-F ("New
Search") default settings are now different. It automatically groups
searched items by type (Folders, Images, etc.). To get it back to just
a regular list, like I'm used to dealing with, I have to click on the

There are lots of Leopard wish lists. This is the inverse. What missing
feature would so disappoint you that you'd consider Leapord a personal
failure?

Is there a way to use Garage Band to combine several short mp3's into
one large one.  Any help would be appreciated.

It's very loud when turning on the Mac.  Anyway to disable it?

Is there any way to find out how many bad sectors exist on a drive --

I am trying to copy and paste an Arabic word from the web into a
multi-lingual Word document on my Mac but am having terrible trouble.
It always comes out either backwards (left-right) or with the letters
not correctly joined up (an Algerian colleague tells me). I have tried

This seems to have started with the latest Apple Software Update.

I can't seem to figure out how to assign action to the F buttons. Any
