The Mac Growl does not support GNTP (Which is the new standard and is supported on Windows, and coming to the Growl Mac in 1.3, no idea when though)
If you want to reply to SMS messages on a MAC you have to use notify.io
Mac growl only supports notifications through either UDP (which is what I use, and has limited support (no contact images, no url links) or through Distributed Objects an OSX thing which is not supported on the iPhone.
The Windows Growl version works with contact images, as well, and with SMS Reply, so when GNTP comes to the Mac they will work as well.
Just so were clear eventhough Notify Pro will send the notification to notify.io, the notify.io client does not display it, it forwards it to your Growl client installed on your Mac...so you still end up getting the Notification in Growl, but since the notify.io client is running on the Mac its able to use Distributed Objects, and is able to associate a url with the notification.
So if you use notify.io, you'll still be able to see the notifications in growl, another benefit of notify.io is that your not tied to your ip, so if you move your laptop or pc around to a different network, you'll still get notifications.
Hope that clears it up.
