[MlMt] custom keybindings suddenly stopped working [SOLVED]

I don't understand this, but... I hadn't touched < ~/Library/Application 
Support/Mailmate/Resources/Special.plist > in months, but when the 
custom keybindings broke I took the occasion to update that file — and 
introduced a typo (a missing quotation mark in one line). So I don't see 
how that could be the cause, but fixing that typo along with the usual 
diddling — dis/enabling the keybindings option, restarting a few 
times, etc — seems to have fixed it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cheers,
Ted
