I think Apple can reserve the right to change their API at anytime
and not just on a new OS release.
So it's not inconceivable that after a Software Update Mail "plugins"
could just stop working.
Apple tries to do what make sense but it's their API to change at
anytime.

Yes, Apple Mail supports plugins but Apple did not release any
documentation for this, so you're alone with class-dump, but
depending what you are trying to do, it can be quite simple.
Take a look a GPGMail source code it will be helpfull.

Is there any Plugin support for Apple's Mail application ? Can we
write our own plugin and attach to the mail application to
provide some customized features to the mail application.
Note that, since this is an undocumented API it is subject to
change without notice. As if to reinforce this, Apple did change
the API slightly between 10.2 and 10.3 and changed it quite a bit
more between 10.3 and 10.4. If you go this route (as companies
like PGP have done) then you need to commit yourself to doing
extensive testing and expect to have to update the code on every
new OS release.
Cheers,
Nicko
