I just installed 10.6.1, and when I opened mail it said something to
the effect that Mail 4.1 is incompatible with GrowlMail. I didn't have
this problem on 10.6.0. Anyone else?

Yup. We have the fix; it will be part of 1.2b3.

Yeah it did the same thing to me ... it also did it when I installed
SL 10.6 fortunately Growl fixed it quickly ... all my other Growl
notifications are fine just the Mail is not compatible with the new
update 10.6.1

if you don't feel like waiting you can attempt to make the edit
yourself.

Sorry to be a newb, but can anyone tell me where this file is
installed so I can edit it?

If its in the installer, how do I open the pkg to edit the contents?

Thanks!

open GrowlMail.mailbundle, open Contents, open Info.plist

Out of the general interest of consuming less time for our Developers so that we can get b3 (and hopefully not many more betas) out, I'm going to answer this once, and then let's wait until b3 is out.

If these instructions do not work for you, please wait for b3. It will have this change, and should be out shortly (no eta).

The GrowlMail.mailbundle includes a file called Info.plist. Inside this file is a tag that has the array with the 2 string lines in it already that look like this:

    25 	<key>SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs</key>
    26 	<array>
    27 		<string>B3F3FC72-315D-4323-BE85-7AB76090224D</string>
    28 		<string>225E0A48-2CDB-44A6-8D99-A9BB8AF6BA04</string>

Now it needs to look like this:

    25 	<key>SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs</key>
    26 	<array>
    27 		<string>B3F3FC72-315D-4323-BE85-7AB76090224D</string>
    28 		<string>225E0A48-2CDB-44A6-8D99-A9BB8AF6BA04</string>
    29 		<string>99BB3782-6C16-4C6F-B910-25ED1C1CB38B</string>
    30 		<string>2610F061-32C6-4C6B-B90A-7A3102F9B9C8</string>


The UUIDs for plugin compatibility changed in 10.6.1 from 10.6.0. So in other words, you have to have a mailbundle that matches the UUID in the SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs. The link that Rudy provided (http://growl.info/hg/growl-development/rev/4652f4f32776) shows the change explicitly. 

So now with the updated UUID's, GrowlMail should work fine with Mail.

Thanks Rudy - I was looking in /User/Library instead of /Library where
it actually was...

Worked for me after I found it.
