Amedeo,
Due to the fact that Mail.app has no plug-in architecture writing a
plug-in for mail is a black art. First Mail will load a bundle if it
is in the right place, and second it is up to you to use a technique
called swizzling.
Finally the best thing is a good example. Some Mail plugin authors
are friendly enough to post source. Here is one link.
MailActOn - http://www.indev.ca/MailActOnSource1_3_1.zip
Here are some other links that might help.
A web site that tracks Mail plugins as well as suggestions for new ones.

A site that discusses some techniques you might need to know to be
able to really write a Mail plug-in. Note that all Mail plugins are
hacks and can be broken by Apple (and will) the moment an actual
architectural change is made to either Mail itself or the Cocoa runtime.
