mail not launching - "unable to load nib file: Mailviewer"
As far as troubleshooting Mac OS I'm a total newbie. Almost since I bought it Mail hasn't worked, but I've been using Entourage so it didn't matter. The only thing that is annoying me is Mail is my default program so when I click on any link it won't go to Entourage.
I stumbled across this by going to "show package contents" and found in the Mail contents folder.

I assume this is why Mail is not loading, however I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas from you Mac gurus?

Reinstalling will just write over the application itself so the data and settings you have (and which are stored separately from the app itself) will be left alone.
I have no idea how the nib would be missing, though maybe it's somehow been corrupted. Do anything interesting lately on your Mac?
