Sometimes I receive emails with lots of links. Clicking on a link opens it in Safari, of course, but also brings Safari to the front. So then I have to switch back, click, and repeat.

I ran into this one recently also. Out of habit, in Safari I Cmd-click links to open them in a new tab instead of a new window. Sometimes I forget I'm in Mail and do that there, then wonder why I'm still in Mail, doh!

I am running 10.4.2 and 10.3.9 on two different machines and can confirm that this works in Tiger and not in Panther.

You can also just drag a link from Mail into an open Safari window and it'll open into the background window while keeping Mail in front.

This is a great hint when working with Spaces in 10.5. Not only would the browser come to the foreground, but you'd also be switched to another Space, if you assigned them! |
