Mail remembers minimized windows and more Apps
In OS X v10.2, Apple's Mail application remembers minimized windows through multiple quits/login sessions:
  1. Double click a message to open it in a new window.
  2. Scroll some
  3. Minimize message window
  4. Quit Mail.app
  5. Relaunch Mail.app
The minimized windows are still in the Dock, at the same position (in the text) where you left them!

I discovered this by logging out (so Mail quit) and logging back in. I don't know if this works in other applications, I suspect it to be application specific, rather than a systemwide feature.

I've noticed this works with minimize in place as well...

System wide

Actually, I just saw this behavior in CVL the other day.
It may just be a pure Cocoa kind of feature, but it certainly is system-wide.

Apparently it doesn't work when you minimize the main viewer window; it still pops up rather than staying in the dock.
