Bring Mail bundles back… from the dead

Mail bundles Tired of the Halloween theme yet? Too bad. Like primetime TV, I will not let a minute go by without reminding you of the current holiday. Tim Gaden, the Mail.app uber guru, is back and better than ever! He’s got a killer tip about how to restore your Mail.app bundles now that you’ve installed Leopard (Dan, your wish is apparently Tim’s command).

Two quick commands will restore those old plugins (maybe):

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3

Yay! Mail Act-on and Mail.appetizer are back (the former more than the latter). I love my bundles; I was afraid they might not return. This may not work for all bundles, but it’s worth a shot.

I love mail.appetizer but I'm a total Terminal newbie. I tried the instructions on Hawk Wings but I can't get it to work...
