Add following two lines to Info.plist:

9049EF7D-5873-4F54-A447-51D722009310
1C58722D-AFBD-464E-81BB-0E05C108BE06

Between

SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs

And

You can find the Info.plist in:

~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/

/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/

If you already opened Mail (and received the disable warning), it’s probably in a folder named “Bundles (Disabled)”; just move the content to Bundles again.

You can do the same ‘hack’ with GPGMail; it’s located at

(~ or /)Library/Mail/Bundles/GPGMail.mailbundle/Contents/

These UUIDs can be found in these two files (they get updated every Mac OS X update, and thus break plugins each time):

/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Info.plist
/System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/Info.plist
