Widemail for Leopard Mail

Advanced Mail.app users using Leopard waiting for the more efficient (and popular) custom-three pane look in Mail.app can now use WideMail 0.1.0. While many users have been waiting for Aaron Harly's Letterbox plugin that provided similar functionality under Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, the new plugin provides similar functionality and allows users to more efficiently use the screen to display mail. The interface also allows an interesting dual-line view for each email that displays the subject along with the sender and date in a two-line column. The latest version has been ported to native objective-c, making it both smaller and faster. The plugin is free (donations accepted) and requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (Tiger users should download the original Letterbox, which the author told MacNN -- before this past weekend -- should be updated "real soon now" for Leopard, although the blog has no updated information on the status of the plugin since November 1st).
