Is there a way to specify the defaults for subject-based searching?
For instance, when you click on the Subject line in an email, MailMate
does a search on that subject by default which is a "related" search
(I'm guessing by message-id). The default search is "Subject -> Body"
"is" "criteria"... is there a way to change that "is" by default to
"contains"?
Not easily. It would require customizing the set of outline columns
available. This is the default file:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist
You would need a custom file here (create the path):
~/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist
That file should just contain the `subject` column definition of the
original file. That would allow you to customize it. This is the default
query:
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.body = '${subject.body}'";
separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
This would change it to “contains”:
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.body ~ '${subject.body}'";
separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
I said it wasn't easy ;-)
The reason I ask is we get mails via a ticketing system for work, and
it includes an ID number and it never matches the default search so
I'm constantly clicking "Expand" and then making that change.
Hmm, that sounds like you need to exclude the ID number from the
comparison. That'll require a custom specifier. Here is a starting
point:

All of this is very low level and I cannot promise that details are not
going to change in the future.
