If I want to automate certain aspects of my mail handling what is the

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/
