Nope.  They added an easy way to play a sound when new mail comes in, and  
changed the look of some of the icons a little, but otherwise, no new  
functionality.

So, is this yet another place where NeXT is waiting for 3rd-party apps to give  
us things that we often use in mailing one another like:

* properly reformatting and quoting text when replying
* signature insertion (both RTF [for NeXTmail] and ASCII [for Non-NeXTmail])
* recognition of uuencoded and shar'ed material ala NewsGrazer (because not  
everyone can send NeXTmail)

These three things are pretty small.  It's annoying to have to resort to some  
other app or service to get things like this done (I haven't seen an app to do  
the third thing).  I wouldn't mind using Terminal services, but the ones  
supplied don't seem to work for quoting (as advertised) when I highlight a  
section of text in a Compose window and choose the reformat and reply service  
item.
