I was typing a message in Mail and I hit apple-S out of habit. It says that saves it, but in the drafts folder, under "Date Received" it says today. Was it sent or was it just saved? I am pretty sure it was just saved, but I just wanted to make sure. Thx.

Why doesn't mail have the airburshed metal theme?
Brushed Metal Windows
Windows have two distinct looks in Mac OS X. There is the standard default look of windows, as shown in the examples so far. There is also a brushed metal look available, shown in Figure 7-11. You can use a brushed metal window if your application:
* Provides an interface for a digital peripheral, such as a camera, or an interface for managing data shared with digital peripherals?iPhoto or iSync, for example
* Strives to re-create a familiar physical device?Calculator or DVD Player, for example
* Provides a source list to navigate information?for example, iTunes or the Finder
Don?t use the brushed metal look indiscriminately. Although it works well for some types of applications, some applications appear too heavy when using this look. For example, it works well for the iSync application window (see Figure 7-11), but it does not work very well for the TextEdit document window (see Figure 7-12).
Basically, Mail is too complicated an application to have a brushed-metal look, especially when you have a bunch of windows open (when reading or writing messages, for example).
I thought this would be fixed in 2.0 but I don't see it.

It is there. Mail > Preferences > Signatures
How does Safari fit into one of the criteria for brushed metal windows?
What about system preferences?
It seems more like Apple chooses the window theme based entirely on its visual appeal. Which is fine, but they should just say so.
Any applications that violate the HIG are generally because Jobs thinks it looks cool, so yeah you're right, they choose the look based on how cool they think it looks.
Current themes
-Garageband - custom wood interface
-Pro Apps - Custom interface inc. dashboards (black transparent things) that iPhoto now also uses
-Aqua
-Aqua/Unified Toolbar
-Brushed Metal
(And yeah I like how Mail 2.0 looks, once you remove the horrible buttons by using Cage Fighter)
Is there any other app that uses that theme?
If you have Xcode (install off the Tiger DVD) then you also have Interface Builder which lets you go in and change any Aqua application from regular Aqua to Aqua/Unified Toolbar.

Cool. Is it tricky for a pretty novice user?
Open up Interface Builder (In Developer/Applications)
Go to File:Import Resource File
Navigate to the Application you want to change.
Then look for the correct .nib file.
For example to change OmniWeb you go to Applications/OmniWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/WebBrowser.nib
Then open up the inspector palette (Tools:Show Inspector) and hit the checkmark for Unified title/toolbar look.
Then save of course.
Problem is selecting the right .nib file. I don't have a huge amount of experience in this regard (I've mostly been fooling around with this stuff in order to better understand it).
