I've been able to change my key bindings in many Mac applications by using a custom ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict file, but the bindings do not appear to have effect when editing new mail message text in the Composer window.

Hmm, that should work. I have some customizations to, e.g., write ⌘ and that works for me. For example:

~~~
{
        "^m" = {
                "^a"    = ("insertText:", "\U2318");  /* C-a     command 
(apple) */
        }
}
~~~

⌃m followed by ⌃a enters the ⌘-symbol.

I know about, and already use, a MailMate key bindings definition file in ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/, and it does work -- for MailMate actions outside the Composer window.

Is there a way to affect the key bindings in the editing panel of the Composer window?

If the keys are not swallowed by the NSTextView then MailMate key bindings should work, but it can be tricky to find something which is not swallowed. (I don't have much guidance for you on that.)
