mmm, sometimes plist files are actually stored in a binary format, rather than 
xml. In GrowlMail’s case that isn’t true, though, so you’re fine to just open 
it in a text editor.

alternatively, as it turns out, i’ve just worked out you can do it from the 
terminal using defaults, along the lines of:
defaults write path/to/growlmail/info.plist/without/the/.plist 
SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add “uuid_string1” “uuid_string2”

eg.
defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info 
SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add 
"857A142A-AB81-4D99-BECC-D1B55A86D94E” "BDD81F4D-6881-4A8D-94A7-E67410089EEB”

nb. that’s all one long line :)
