Today I had to forward several messages to a single email address. Therefore I selected these messages with CMD and hit the Forward button.
Mail.app created one new message from the selected messages. Ready to send!
James – thanks Hans!
Find a page you want to send (in Safari) and hit Command+I . This will open Mail with the ready to send. Dunno if it’s a windows friendly attachment but in Mail you can see the site even without opening your browser!
Ps: it probably sends a .webarchive file.
Like most tricks, I stumbled upon this by accident. If you just want to reply or forward a selected portion of an email in Mail, just drag to highlight the portion of the email and click reply or forward. Comes in handy for those long threads.

If you create a new message in Mail, and do Alt (options) + Command + I, then whatever message is selected in mail box list will appear in your compose window as if you are forwarding it.
If you are using Safari, and a webpage has an RSS feed, you can click on the little icon in the address bar, right before the URL, and drag it to the sidebar in Mail, under the RSS locations. Mail will capture the feed for you and do all the syncing.

If you haven’t tried the new “stationary” features of mail.app then you could be living in a cave (a cave that has no Mac with Leopard installed, hehe).
Here’s a neat stationary add-on called “Photo Cluster”. Here’s the “about” info as taken from the authors site:”
Photo Cluster is a Mail stationary I designed as a test of the drag-and-drop image wells embedded into some of the included stationaries.”
Get the info and the download at Pete’s site – http://pz2.ucls.uchicago.edu/photoCluster/
Not sure if this is obvious or not (or if it was already possible in 10.4 for that matter)…
To manually mark a message with any colour in your inbox or other mailbox, just select it, press shift+command+c to bring up the colour menu and select the colour of your choice!
Very convenient to visually group messages in different categories!
I wrote about Stationary in Mail here which discusses the new stationary feature in mail, and today ran into something interesting by mistake. If you click on the stationary template icon, the template in the compose window will change background colour. I don’t think it works for all stationary/themes however.
