Two answers:

No: The reason is that even though MailMate knows the path where a given 
message should be saved then it might not have happened yet. Saving is 
handled by a separate thread.

Yes: The path can be derived from the ${#source} variable which is kind 
of an IMAP URL (not quite following the IMAP URL standard).

What are you going to do with the path? If it is with the purpose of 
reading the raw file then it might be better just to ask MailMate to 
provide the message on stdin (using `input = 'raw'`).

Similar to “View ▸ Copy as Link…”?

Sounds great. Just what I need even if it exposes the missing features 
of the bundle system ;-) Questions are welcome. Eventually it'll force 
me to document more features.
