10.5: Safari 4 Beta prevents Mail from saving as RTF

Just a quick heads up on a Safari 4 Beta/Mail issue in OS X 10.5...

If you're using Safari 4 Beta in 10.5, you won't be able to save emails from Mail in RTF mode. Mail will appear as though it saved the email (no error messages appear), but it won't actually do anything.

The only fix as of now is to run the uninstaller for Safari 4 Beta and downgrade to safari 3.2.1. Otherwise, you'll just have to live with not being able save email as RTF. The issue seems to be with a webkit incompatibility

[robg adds: I can confirm this issue exists on 10.5; I no longer have a 10.4 test machine, though, so I'm not sure if it exists there as well.]
