The reason for Mail plugins breaking so often in Snow Leopard is this: In Mail 4.0 or higher (Snow Leopard starts at 4.0) is started, it scans all plugins for compatibility information. If it detects a plugin from an older version of Mail (in this case, a plugin for 4.1 trying to run in 4.2) it is automatically disables the plugin, even if it works just fine. Each plugin must explicitly tell Mail that the plugin is made for that EXACT version of Mail. So every time Mail is updated, all Mail plugins must be updated as well to explicitly state that they work with the new version of Mail.
Yes, I know, that's dumb. But that's the way it is and we're stuck with it. A quick change to the GrowlMail plugin to tell Mail that it is compatible is all that's needed unless more problems or incompatibilities arise after that (not that we'd be able to find the problems before the compatibility update because the plugin won't run in Mail 4.2, so we can't bugtest). It's a backwards way of doing things. An update can be done for GrowlMail tonight and work just fine. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
