If I want to automate certain aspects of my mail handling what is the best way to go about this. Classes of things I would like to do are

+ Create a new emails
+ Call on a script with references to one or more selected emails
(+ Trigger a script based an a filter)

I looked at the applescript dictionary and it seem to be pretty basic (too basic to be useful??). I also looked at some of the bundles and it looks like any kind of language would work here.

Bundles are the way to go. Rules in mailboxes can also trigger bundle commands.

So, is there some language that is a "better choice" for some reason when interacting with Mailmate? Personally, it doesn't matter much but I would prefer not to use Cobol, Fortran or APL :D

No, you can use any language you like. Typical choices would be Ruby or Python. There is very little documentation though. Starting points are the existing bundles and this important hint: Each `uuid` (which exist in most of the files) **must** be unique. You can put such a unique value on the pasteboard using this command:

        uuidgen | tr -d "\n" | pbcopy

Custom bundles should be placed here:

        ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/
