I would never tell you that anything was stupid. On the contrary, thank
you for telling (reminding?) me about `formail`.

No, not within MailMate. When MailMate (eventually) supports commands to
be run on currently selected messages then I would tell you to use that
to send the spam message to a script running `formail` and then end the
script with something like:
open -a MailMate edited_message.msg
The best you can do now is to drag the message out of MailMate. I just
tried using Automator to create an application which runs a script when
dragging a message to it. That seems to work fine. I used the following
dummy script based on the default script in Automator when creating a
?Run Shell Script? action:
for f in "$@"
do
cat "$f" > /tmp/spam.msg
open -a MailMate.app /tmp/spam.msg
done
Note that I currently use the `.msg` extension instead of `.eml`.
MailMate is a bit too intelligent with `.eml` since based on the
`Message-ID` of the message it locates and opens its own version of the
same message...
I hope some of the above is useful to you.
