I can see you already got some of your questions answered. I'll try to deal with the rest, but let me know if I missed something.

First, is there a “paste as quoted” command, or pre-existing way to combine the functions of “paste” and “quoting -> increase level” into a single key command?

No, but I'm open for adding it as a variant of “Edit ▸ Paste”, e.g., bound to ⌥⌘V by default. I can see Apple Mail does not appear to have any paste-variants. What was the shortcut used in MailSmith?

Thank you for considering this! The “paste as quoted” command in Mailsmith was “option+command+v” and something I use often when trying to summarize/reformat threaded discussions when new people are added to the discussion.

Is there any way to re-wrap quoted or body text, preferably with a user-defined column width and indentation options?

No, and there shouldn't be (well, except perhaps for an unwrapping function). Wrapping lines should be taken care of by the receiving email client based on the preferences of the recipient. The sending email client should use “format=flowed” to avoid hard-wrapping lines and this is what MailMate does. Any email clients not understanding “format=flowed” (shame on them) are going to see it as hard-wrapped lines (72 chars).

Understood, thank you. The round-trip to BBEdit should solve this need for occasional reformatting.

Is there a menu item, or more specifically a key shortcut, for copying messages to a mailbox - similar to the “Move to mailbox…” function?

No, but you can hold down ⌥ when hitting enter (using “Move to Mailbox...”) to create a copy instead.

Thanks. This is something I do infrequently, but that will be very helpful for when a copy to another account mailbox is needed.

Regarding replies, is there reply setting to place the quoted text at the top (with the insertion point after), for inline (or bottom-posting) replies?

Default behavior is defined in the Signatures preferences pane, but MailMate also learns your habits if you use the “Signature” menu in the Composer. This way your preferred style can depend on the recipient. You can reset what MailMate has learned by clicking “Reset Usage History” in the Signatures preferences pane.

Interesting, this might explain why it seems to work one way sometimes and a different way other times. I’ll look into that.. Thanks again!
