It was the ant that reared its head at the end.
About 10 percent of the project assumed to take ten years had been done in five when the Oxford English Dictionary's editors reached "ant" (having started with 'A' and proceeding alphabetically) to mark the end of the first volume.
It took a tad longer than planned; the dictionary's first edition was completed in 1928, 49 years into the venture. If completing words using OS X's built-in dictionary is taking a tad longer, too, than planned in Mac OS X Mail, why not start building your own dictionary?

Mike Boich brought home stories to tell. When he boarded the plane, for instance, to fly back from a trade show in February 1985 and the storage over his head was already full, Boich, one of Macintosh's original software evangelists, went for the overhead storage behind him.
He touched the handle ever so slightly. The door sprung open. Out and crashing down came the Osbourne 1, possibly the first portable computer in 1981 at slightly over 11 kg (24 pounds).
A woman was injured slightly. Boich looked around and spotted a mustached man down the aisle who picked up his gaze: Adam Osborne, the computer's creator, said: "You shouldn't blame yourself entirely!"
Now, if you want to move emails as fast as an airplane's overhead storage can pop open, MailMate can file them when you move your fingers ever so slightly:
›› In MailMate, you don't have to move the mouse to move a message, or scan a long list of folders. Here's how to file emails with verve and from the keyboard alone.

When your pet gets confused and turns onto you, the future looks glum.
You throw something in desperation and its direction. All the pet does is pick up the weapon.
This is good. The unicorn horn is not only a sharp weapon, it also cures confusion. The hostile monster, once again, is but your helpful pet.
Unicorns are fantastic to meet not only in Nethack, of course, but also in emails:

MailTags, the OS X Mail add-on for tacking emails with labels, projects, tickle dates, tasks, notes and what not, now not only works smoothly with OS X Mail 6 (and Reminders as well as Calendar alongside it), it comes with a sweet new display integrated in the message's header area and more classy color-coding, too:
›› MailTags lets you add tags, keywords, notes and due dates to emails in Mac OS X Mail and integrates them with search, rules, smart mailboxes, Calendar, Reminders and project-management software for near-perfect and semi-automatic custom email organization. (Mac)
