Preview incoming Apple Mail with Mail.appetizer

Mail.appetizer is a handy little plugin that enables you to preview incoming Apple Mail right on your Mac desktop. The Mail.appetizer window shows you the subject, sender, and a brief snippet of the message. Once the plugin is installed (and Mail is restarted), you'll have a new Notifications option in your Mail preferences, with options to change:
- Which mailboxes show the notifications
- The font and size of the notification text
- Transparency
- Time to display the message
There are currently builds for both Tiger and Leopard.

It does have one. I use it and see a message pop up every 30 minutes or so telling me of a new email.
