[MlMt] These filters are awesome, but also confusing to me.

I know you figured out how to do this, but for the sake of “clarity” 
I have a few comments:

The `.mmCommand` files are currently the only way to make rules. It is 
still not certain that I won't change the format of these files. The 
only documentation is the comments in this file:

	MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Scripts/Strip\ MailMan\ 
Footer.mmCommand

(And I'm afraid those comments are not complete.)

The best way to figure out the `select` value is to setup a smart 
mailbox within MailMate and then look for the corresponding `filter` 
value in:

	~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Mailboxes.plist

With respect to figuring out what is possible using the header 
specifiers (such as `from.address.domain`) then the following may be 
useful:

	MailMate.app/Contents/Frameworks/OakMIME.framework/Resources/specifiers.plist
