Great communication utility... Can't Post

Hi All,

Just a little pitch for a utility that I've grown to love more and more:

Mail.Appetizer
http://www.bronsonbeta.com/

I've relied on email for most of my communication for years. As much as I can I suggest that a person's best bet of getting a fast response has been through email. This little app is perfect for that in more ways than I thought I'd be. In a nutshell - While I'm working when an email comes in it floats it above all the other apps on the screen in a transparent window. You can choose to mark it is as read, delete it etc., just like you can with Mail. If you choose to respond it opens up Mail and off you go. Being instantly accsessible is appreciated, especially if you're someone that screens calls like me.

One unforseen benefit: Have you ever had an email come in from someone you really don't look forward to hearing from so you put off reading it? With Mail.Appetizer you're confronted with it whether you want to deal with it or not. As a result my in box stays mostly empty.

Thanks Joel.

I downloaded this and it is really a great little utility. I have turned some friends on to it as well.

Doesn't appear to be universal?

Hi Brian,

I just looked around and I can't find a reference to universal other than that the current beta is universal:

http://www.bronsonbeta.com/mailappetizer/beta/

But one thing I noticed is that when it is running and I look in Activity Monitor there is no PPC apps running. Odd, but at least the next generation will be for sure.
