Probably Mail changed where it stores that pref. It might be under a different key, or it might be stored in another domain entirely.
App defaults keys are not public, so you're relying on undocumented internal behavior of Mail, that could (and did!) change at any time.
A more supported way to get that info might be to query Mail's scripting interface using an AppleScript or the scripting bridge API.
