2. Would it be possible to add a log entry if MailMate does not find a file?

I've added this.

Thanks.  Will this pop-up in a beta build when I update?

Yes, it should work in the next update.

3. Are there any characters forbidden in filenames?

No.

Then I guess I'm still at a loss. When a keystroke fails to do what I expect, is there any debugging recourse? Is there some sort of API that Apple supplies to let you query a keyboard configuration with a keystroke to find out what will happen? Is there a logging capability that one can use to see how keystrokes were mapped in an application?

Sorry, neither the system or MailMate does much to help you here.

You can send me your key bindings file and I'll see if I can spot the problem. That's the best I can offer you for now.

It's quite simple, and it was mostly copied from the manual and from GitHub resources. This is all it is:
```
{
    "^@\U000D" = "send:"; // Cmd + Return
    "^@\U000A" = "send:"; // Cmd + Enter
    // spacebar like Thunderbird
    " " = "scrollPageDownOrNextUnreadMessage:";
    // tag commands
    "t" = {
        "p" = ( "setTag:", "Primrose" );
        };
}
```

and it's in a file called `rpg-bindings.plist` in `~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/`

My keybinding preference text field is like this:
`Postbox,rpg-bindings`
and the "Custom Key Bindings" "Enable:" checkbox is checked.

When I try using the `t-p` combination in the messages window, it seems like some other keybinding interfere, and I get a thread display (I believe this is coming from the Postbox bindings). When I try Cmd + Return in a compose buffer, I just get a beep.

I have probably just done something obvious and stupid, but I can't for the life of me figure out what... I don't even know how to tell if my file is failing to parse (although `plutil` says it is OK), or if the file is simply never being read.

Thanks, and sorry for all the questions,
r
