[MlMt] MailMate event scripts

[Helge Andre Gudmundsen]

Thanks for the debug variable, which confirms that the scripts actually 
trigger.

Yup, no sound plays even when configured in Preferences. FWIW, I have an 
external audio interface installed in addition to the Mac System Audio, 
however, System Audio is configured to go through the internal speakers. 
One additional detail: when selecting the sound in the Preferences 
dialog, it plays, but when new mail arrives there is only silence. 
Anyway, the sounds in themselves are not important, I only wanted to 
make sure that the script was triggering.

Thanks for looking into this, it is much appreciated. I have to say I am 
very happy that I found MailMate, it is an excellent mail client. I was 
thinking about moving to a terminal based client (mutt), but MailMate 
fills my needs, and lets me stay in the regular OSX environment.

Glad to hear it!
