How to get the Growl Mail plugin working in Leopard

In Leopard, Apple changed some stuff regarding the plugin architecture. Therefore the Growl Mail plugin (which informs you if you got new mail) doesn't work anymore. But with some simple terminal commands, the plugin loads again:

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -int 3


Thats basicly everything..

You can get the Growl Mail plugin here, it's located in the extra's folder.

I tried this - and although I could enable the growl plugin, every time it tried to notify me Mail would crash, and I had to disable it :(

Can you tell me how to put this back as it was originally?

Check out the response from Apple in Os X 10.5.2

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307109

Mail now automatically disables the (unsupported) third-party plugin GrowlMail version 1.1.2 or earlier to avoid issues.

So I guess its up to the developer to improve things or somebody to develop a new plugin that does the same
