Back in the time of Tiger, I wanted a 3 column-view for my Mail.app since I have this gorgeous widescreen Cinema Display to take advantage of such a thing. I downloaded a mod (made with Interface Builder I think) that replaced some of the guts of the application. It worked like a charm. I added MailTags and other stuff too.

When I upgraded to Leopard the first moment it was out, my Mail.app stopped displaying mail counts. If I resized the app, the whole display went white & I'd have to relaunch it. I couldn't for the life of me remember what I did to mod my Mail.app and thought I was kind of stuck. After tons of googling, uninstalling hacks, etc. I found mention of an application in a post that rang a bell... Letterbox. A new version is out for Leopard (beta). I tried this and it fixed the mail counts and the resize problems.

If I didn't find that obscure post, I was going to see if Mail could be installed from the Leopard disk separately. That would have been a fairly big pain in the rear. So glad its back to working fine again.
