Gmail-Growl Utility 1.7
The Gmail-Growl Utility that adds some seriously handy features to Google's official Gmail Notifier has been updated with a functionality face-lift and some fixes. It now has an option to toggle on/off Growl notifications for those times when you just need silence, and in Mac OS X Tiger you can now drag and drop notification field elements such as sender, subject and date, to build the actual notification you want to see (Panther users can still copy/paste text blocks to customize this notification).
Gmail-Growl Utility has also gone fully universal as long as you're using Google's latest Notifier version (1.8.2). It is also donationware (bonus points: the dev donates 10% to charity) and available from Waffle Software.

Growl is a system wide notification system built upon the fact that dev's can incorporate plugins and gain functionality.

Thanks for the plug. I'll be following this thread for comments.
One more thing: the app that you use to install and configure the thing is named Gmail+Growl Utility while the thing itself is named Gmail+Growl. Hair-splitting to some, I know. :)
