You've probably heard this response already, but I'll repeat it for
the benefit of the list. Apple does not support developers modifying
preferences files directly. While it will often work (and sometimes
it might even be the best solution), we don't support it because it
constrains our ability to change the system. Thus, if you build an
application that relies on this approach, you must accept a certain
binary compatibility liability. Specifically, if we change Mail's
preferences file format, your program will probably break.
The job for you and your management is to balance the benefits of
this approach (no flashing windows as Mail starts up) against the
potential binary compatibility liability.
