No, but a lot of other people have, and they get this to work.

OK, so do one of two things:
* install globally and provide a small "enable GrowlMail for m"
application
* have a Growl preference that says "enable GrowlMail for current user
if a globally-installed GrowlMail is found".  This should probably be
on by default.

The second option is better.

Better yet: *don't have GrowlMail at all* but bundle it with Growl.

Yes, and that place should be /Library somewhere, not in every user's
home directory.
