    I have a 500mhz G4 dual with OS10.3.2, Mail 1.3.2 with the GPGMail 1.0.1 (v33, 10.3) plugin installed. In Mail, I have 10 accounts and about 26 mailboxes. ~/Library/Mail is about 50Mb or so.

    Installation went according to your instructions. I chose to use the Installer. Mail then launched without complaining the plugin was incompatible. So I attempted to create an httpmail account.

    But when I closed the preferences window and clicked the Save button, there was a pause and then "The application Mail has unexpectedly quit." After that the rainbow spinning pizza of death cursor appeared, so I had to Cmd-Opt-Esc force quit.

    After 5 attempts to create an httpmail account, I have uninstalled the software.

    Folllowing your instructions, I executed this command in Terminal:
    % defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 0

    Unfortunately that also disabled the GPGMail plugin.

    So after looking at the GPGMail installation instructions, I typed these two commands into Terminal:

    % defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles YES

    % com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 1

    When I restarted Mail, GPG was working again.

    Are the two flags "EnableBundles 1" and "EnableBundles YES" compatible with each other?

    Anyway, great idea for a plugin thanks. I will check back a few times to retry it. I hope it is more stable then.

      One thing you can try is rather than closing the preferences window, select a different account (non httpmail) from the account list and then close the window.
