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.</p>

<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">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 <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">uuid</code> (which exist in most of the files) <strong>must</strong> be unique. You can put such a unique value on the pasteboard using this command:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">uuidgen | tr -d "\n" | pbcopy
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">Custom bundles should be placed here:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/
