Notifcation list
This resource will shortly be updated with a slew of changes - stay tuned! Meanwhile ... if you would like to be notified of changes, simply subscribe to the low-volume, high signal:noise notification list.
NEW! Mac OSX 10.7 Lion compatibility.
Now Lion has been released, we can inform you that Apple Mail Lion will automatically disable ALL plugins, whether Lion-compatible or not. This is not expected behaviour, as Apple Mail can distinguish between Lion-compatible/incompatible plugins. It is not currently known whether this will be addressed by future updates, but in the meantime, either check here for Lion-compatible plugin information, or check directly with the developer.
If you have a plugin that you would like listed here, or have compatibility or other information to provide, please email plugins (at) this domain. Thanks!
