I like the new layout too - but is it an 'improvement' rather than a 'change'? Seems a bit like when the people in charge at the paper we get decided to 'improve' the TV guide. They wrote a whole article about it - first they changed the name from TV Scene to TV Guide - apparently more such improvements were to come!
I wouldn't trust the junkmail filter where it just deletes your junk automatically - it might pick it all up, but it also collects non-junk as well. I use the 'keep for a week' filter.
