So it seems to me that you could do away with "functional, but boring" reviews
I don't really mind having this label ;-) That doesn't mean I deliberately try to make MailMate boring, but I don't want to make something pretty if it's at the expense of making something less functional or non-standard.
by liberalizing the degree to which customization could be done. At that point people would have the tools to mimic whatever design they like. Or switch among designs weekly. MailMate could become the mail application for people for whom "looks are important," so important that they want to do it themselves or choose among several well-designed variations.
I think most people want something which is just pretty out-of-the-box (and not necessarily configurable), but my goal is probably very close to what you suggest. If possible (technically and performance-wise), I would like both a one-column message list and the current headers view to be based on HTML — and this would include making it as user-configurable as possible for power users.
Right now my main priority is still (much) better handling of HTML when replying/forwarding. There won't be any other major changes until after that is complete. I'm just constantly side-tracked by having to deal with bugs in IMAP servers, MailMate, other email clients/services, and El Capitan. In that order and particularly the first one :-)
