Small details I like in OS X Leopard: Quick Look in Mail

Quick Look is a new file preview function Apple integrated into OS X 10.5. It’s really handy when you’re navigating the Finder and want to quickly skim through a document or PDF. But one of the other great implementations of Quick Look in Leopard is its inclusion in Apple Mail.

When you receive an e-mail with one or more attachments, in addition to the option to save the attachments, Apple has added a small Quick Look button at the bottom of the message header.

Clicking this button will cause a pop-up window to display the attachment. If there’s more than one, you’ll have the option to cycle through each one, as well as play any recognized media formats.
