I couldn't find my definitions in the Shortcuts within System 
Preferences -> Keyboard, so looked in the MailMate plist:

~/Library/Prefences/com.freron.MailMate.plist

The relevant entries are here:

        <key>NSUserKeyEquivalents</key>
        <dict>
                <key>Next Alternative</key>
                <string>^&lt;</string>
                <key>Previous Alternative</key>
                <string>^$&lt;</string>
        </dict>

Now, should I simply delete that lot,

If you're on a recent MacOS (since Lion?), editing a "live" Preferences 
plist is not reliably functional and can be dangerous. It *can* work, 
but cfprefsd is not friendly to those who touch its files...

or is there a better way via the 'defaults delete' command?

The NSUserKeyEquivalents dictionary is where  System 
Preferences->Keyboard->App Shortcuts stores per-app shortcuts, so maybe 
double-check there?

A bit of testing tells me that if there's a NSUserKeyEquivalents dict in 
com.freron.MailMate that has been entirely added by hand with 
'defaults', System Preferences->Keyboard does not see it, and adding any 
new shortcut obliterates the existing dictionary. However, if there's an 
existing shortcut created by System Preferences->Keyboard, 
NSUserKeyEquivalents exists and can be added to AND System 
Preferences->Keyboard will see the additions.

So it might work for you to add a MailMate shortcut in System 
Preferences->Keyboard and then delete it. The advantage of this is that 
System Preferences->Keyboard knows some magic for alerting MailMate 
and/or cfprefsd to the change in realtime which 'defaults' does not.
