Email Merge makes email-outs easy by integrating a database with Apple Mail (OS X 10.3 or greater) to produce individualized invoicing, sales, list management, student grading and personal messages.

iSay records spoken messages which it then packages up as attachments to an email.

Mailfollowup - A plugin that adds a “Followup” command to Apple Mail’s Message and Contextual Menus, so that the To:, Cc: and Bcc: addresses appear in the reply exactly as they appeared in the original message. This allows you to add an afterthought or further reply.

MacResponder Enables Apple Mail to send auto-replies.

Mail Pictures Mail Pictures adds an “X-Image-Url:” header to your messages. This header points either to your .Mac image or contains an X-Face string generated by dairiki.org’s Online X-Face Converter. People can see you even if they don't have your picture in their Address Book.

Scale to Mail - An AppleScript droplet that will resize an image and dump it into an email which it opens for you in Apple Mail.

Vacation ScriptAn AppleScript, which when attached to an Apple Mail rule, will auto-reply to your email and make sure that each email address is only replied to once.

Interface Tweaks
Alternative Apple Mail Icons - I've collected together as many different Apple Mail stamp icons as I could find. At the moment that's 139 of them. Berkeley shiksa feministas, red-neck patriots and everyone inbetween wil find something to suit. UNO is a hack that can bring Mail 2.0's unified Toolbar/Titlebar and lighter metal look to all the windows in your system. UNO’s aim is “to enhance aqua interface consistency, by making all elements look and feel as one.” It does a surprisingly good job of blending Apple's native apps with the apps of third-party developers. You can see more screenshots and download the hack from UNO's website

Leopard Mail Templates
The Novcom.net Design Group - A collection of five HTML templates for Leopard Mail, featuring and "Liquid Ice", "Fire", Onyx, Emerald and Ruby.

iCal
DoBeDo is a widget that manages your iCal ToDos. It will list your ToDos, but also allows you mark them as completed, to edit them and to select which ones to display.

iCal-alarmist is an app that sets additional alarms in iCal. The free version sets a pop-up alarm for every event in a chosen calendar fixed at 12 hours before the event. These alarms are created in addition to your existing alarms, not in place of them. A small payment (€ 3,47 = USD 4.11) unlocks the ability to set alarms for all events in a calendar with one click, to set sounds, email or popup alarms or any combination for a given calendar, and to delete alarms.

Of course there are a lot more of these listed. The listings include links to downloads of the software.
