I believe this should work:
"s" = ( "newMessagesViewerWindow:", "searchAllMessages:" );
(But the layout is going to be the default layout.)
It works like a champ, Benny. Thanks... I'll put it in my reference
file that I'm building.
I swear to god that I did a lot of googling and could not find that
keybinding. Thanks for sharing.

Late April I added this:
New: Added centerSelectionInVisibleArea: for the mailbox/message lists
(bound to ⌃L by default).
This did not do what you were looking for?
Hmmm. I hadn't tried it yet. My bad. Again, works like a champ.
> $50 - Programmatic way to access messages (and message components
such as Subject, Body, etc) using some API. Either Applescript (via
the performCommand binding) or whatever. This would allow me to
duplicate some of my workflows from Mail.app
It's possible to create a custom bundle command which can then be
triggered using the perform AppleScript command, but I know that it
would also be useful if there was more direct access via AppleScript
-- especially when adapting existing scripts. I'll give it some more
thought.
Yes, I saw that with my "OpenInOutlook" hacked bundle that I slammed
together. Thanks for your guidance on that (especially the part about
how you do the UUID :-)
I'll clean up the script and release it to the mailing list in case
there are others who use MailMate along with Microsoft's Outlook for
calendaring. The bundle command that I added allows me to press
Shfit-Ctrl-O to open up the corresponding message in Outlook so that I
can a) see the date/time of the appointment, b) what events are around
it, c) comment back to the meeting request, etc.
The bounties shouldn't be the only factor that Benny should use. I
would hate to see MM evolve into a purely "bourgeois" model where
those with the most amount of money get a voice in feature requests.
I assure you that if I was motivated only by money then MailMate
simply wouldn't exist :)
Oh, I don't doubt that at all. I can see it's a labor of love --
producing an elegant, powerful and extensible powerful tool that is
leveraged by power-users.

It's nice if people are willing to pay for a specific feature, but I
cannot really make a living of that. The price of a feature would
have to be more than most people would be able to pay. I also see a
myriad of other potential problems :-) I'm probably also getting
closer to a point where fixing/improving existing features is going
to be more important than adding new (major) features. This is an
important subject though (for me) since the lack of major new
features are going to make it hard to do 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 feature
releases — and 2.0 is free for all 1.x license key owners (at least
those bought after October, 2013). I've already proven that I'm not
very good at bumping version numbers :) Essentially, license keys
bought by new users are currently the only potential revenue (except
when users do like you have done). I'm considering how to best move
forward, but let me just assure existing users that I have no plans
to stop developing MailMate.
Music to all of our ears!
I just bought an additional license of MailMate, as well. Please take a
friend out to Ruby and have a drink on me.
Thanks to Kee Hinckley for the idea and example.
Cheers,
-Mike
