Here: http://growl.info/documentation/growlmail.php#growlmail-and-snow-leopard Why does GrowlMail keep breaking under Snow Leopard? Because Apple keeps breaking it. Starting with Snow Leopard, Mail requires every Mail plug-in bundle to explicitly state which versions of Mail and the behind-the-scenes Message framework the plug-in is compatible with. This is not an “or later” test: The plug-in must identify every specific version it is compatible with, and if your versions of Mail and the Message framework are not on that list, Mail will disable the plug-in and tell you to seek a version that is (explicitly) compatible with your version of Mac OS X. (You may have heard of this being an issue of “UUIDs”. These text strings are how Mail identifies versions of itself and the Message framework, so that is what we're talking about here.) As long as you run Mail with GrowlMail installed, we suggest that you hold back on installing a new version of Mac OS X until we can test and release a new version of GrowlMail with it, because this will probably happen with every future Mac OS X update. This isn't specific to GrowlMail, by the way: It affects all Mail plug-in bundles, so if you use any bundles other than GrowlMail, you will also have to wait for their authors to release updates.
