Growl 1.2beta3 finally fixes GrowlMail for me. Lets hope they get the final release out soon.
Snow Leopard compatible beta found at http://growl.info/beta.html
A pre-beta version that works with Snow Leopard can be found at: http://groups.google.com/group/growldiscuss/browse_thread/thread/819cdede7370af04/68222f63b39ba763?lnk=raot

Doesn't work 100% in Snow Leopard. Let's hope a fix soon :)
I'm proud to be user #12,500 lol :)
Just started using Growl today and I must say, it's pretty awesome. I've known about it for a while but never downloaded it because I ignorantly didn't think it would be worth my time.
I was very wrong.
Tip: instead of clicking the close box on each notification one at a time, you can close all of them by pressing option while you click the close box of any one of the notification boxes.

FYI: Growl support is coming to Awaken 5. Screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/embraceware/2820197110/
Does someone know how to log notifications?
I'd like to log status changes from adium, like this adium plugin seems to be doing.
Is there a way to lower the volume of iTunes while playing the sound for a notification?
Minuteur does that, and it's quite useful. :)
I loved Growl but finally had to nuke it a few days ago. It worked great in Tiger but was nothing but a pain in the butt with Leopard. Growlmail never working was the nail in the coffin as this was my favorite use of Growl.
