One of the joys of using OS X is discovering useful little features on a regular basis. I frequently hear this from new Mac users, but it’s just as true for me—and I’ve used a Mac daily for more years than I care to relate. These “new” discoveries are often old news to other Mac users.
For example, in the Apple Mail program, I always thought that the little curling arrow next to an email you’ve replied to was simply a visual cue saying “hey, you replied to this email.” However, it’s actually a button. When you click the little curling arrow—the original email that you replied to—your response opens. This makes digging through an email chain a bit less cumbersome.
This is something that everyone else at Small Dog seemed to know about, but again it was new to me. It makes me wonder what else I’m missing and have yet to discover. And for me, that’s part of what keeps the Mac fun to use!
