We're very happy with the reception we're getting with AIM for Mac beta. We appreciate the support. Now, it's AOL Desktop's turn. You can now get your hands on the next Beta for AOL Desktop for Mac 1.5. We're focusing on improving the mail experience by optimizing the downloading of the various components of mail. We're hoping to relieve the message content loading delays some users are finding on PowerPC Macs.

Here's a list of the fixed issues for Beta 4:

• Improved mail performance by optimizing the downloading of message header, body and attachments
• Users can now save mail as plain text files
• When sending mail with large attachments, users can now cancel the outgoing mail
• Fixed issue when users changed their mail view from Inbox back to New/Old/Sent
• AIM now supports friendly names in the Buddy List
• Fixed issue in Buddy Chat where Screen Names in the group should be listed when sending a Buddy Chat invite to a group
• Fixed AIM preference when "Play event sounds" are turned off
• Added AOL Yellow Pages toolbar icon
