And PM 6.0.2 reports "ppc i386".  This makes all the difference, as you say.

If CTM wants to build on 10.6, they really should use gcc 4.0 and the
10.4 SDK for best compatibility with older machines/OSes.

I'll save Don the trouble and give an answer: lipo reports "ppc7400
i386" for the new PowerMail build.  Thus, it will apparently run only on
G4 and G5 PPCs.

Interestingly the top few google results for "ppc7400" address this
particular issue.  Apparently targeting the 10.5 SDK causes this to happen:

If you open Terminal and type:

$ lipo -info /Applications/PowerMail.app/Contents/MacOS/PowerMail

What does it say?

We have recompiled PowerMail using the latest XCode on Snow Leopard.
This might have introduced some incompatibility with old hardware, but
we have only tested on G4 and intel. Any other G3 user out there?

PowerMail 6.0.3b1 is now available (from the menu "PowerMail / Check for
Updates"), and fixes the Quick Look bug on Snow Leopard.
