Disable Apple Mail animations in OSX Mountain Lion
Are you annoyed that you need to wait almost 3 seconds for the stupid Apple Mail animation to complete when replying/forwarding a message? Thankfully you can turn off that behavior with a little command line:
defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool YES
Should you decide that you no longer need those 3 seconds back, just change YES to NO
defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool NO
