Do you mean the names in the contacts selector should have a different color? In the latest version, I've also added some basic instructions at the top... is it still confusing? >In addition in my opinion it's unfortunate that the Subject-Line in the >compose window is on the very top.

This behaviour resembles as well the >writing of a letter. It's the first time anyone's commented on this.
