10.5: Fixing odd Mail behavior with search and dragging

I was having the following very annoying problems with Mail 3.1 in Leopard:
- Couldn't drag messages into a mailbox.
- When searching, the criterion sub bar would not pop-up, and Mail would lock when performing a second search.
After some searching, I removed the Mail plug-in bundles in ~/Library/Mail/Bundles, and the above issues both stopped. In general, it seems safest to only use plug-ins that have been verified to work with this new version of Mail, otherwise very strange things will happen!
[robg adds: The hint here isn't necessarily about the specific Mail issues, but rather that unverified Mail bundles in 10.5 can cause behavior that stops short of preventing Mail from working. So if you're debugging strange issues in Mail -- or any other app that accepts plug-ins -- it's worth a check to see if any installed bundles have been verified to work in 10.5.]
