I don't necessarily always agree with the UI consistency-über-alles rule, but it's an uphill battle to change that. Even having three button is too 'diverse'... ii) even in english, the names are quite long; in many other languages these longer names may not fit on the screen. However, I agree that 'Cancel' is misleading here. But at least, after loosing your mail once, one will not forget... Maybe we should add a 'Mu'[1] button, which would 'unask the question'... Best wishes, Dirk.
