Snow Leopard kills popular Mail plugin

by John Burke on September 3, 2009 at 03:00 PM


The release of Snow Leopard has come with it's fair share of problems and compatability issues. Whether it's because the app does not run in 64-bit or is as simple as a few new lines of code, developers have been busy working up quick fixes and solutions. One such horror story comes from a popular Mail plugin called WideMail.

For those of you unfamiliar, WideMail offers a range of customizations for Mail including the ability to have messages appear in vertical columns as opposed to the default "over under" view we're used to. The plugin also offers custom display settings like altering the color of messages, choosing what text to display in your inbox and spacing our your messages for a less cluttered look.

During beta testing of Snow Leopard, the developer promised the app would work but unfortunately, the final release of Snow Leopard has totally disabled the incompatible plugin. The developer is working on a fix now and one should (hopefully) be available soon.
