Just for the record, make sure you

* enabled 2.0 features in the General preferences pane,
* and are using the latest beta (Software Update preferences pane) or 
maybe even the latest test version (hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check 
Now”).

When running it manually then it should be executed when the composer is 
open (after creating a new message or reply). It can be executed with 
the menu item in the Command menu or with the shortcut listed in the 
same location.

Running it automatically when creating a new message or reply is a bit 
tricky (even more experimental). It requires the UUID of the command in 
the bundle. Here is how to do it for TextMate:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmBundleCommandLaunchedOnTab 
"46C1F8A8-A069-4E54-A427-30D45342674F"

UUIDs for all known editor bundles are:

| Editor       | UUID |
|--------------|------|
| Aquamacs     | `CA69CAD5-D4EC-481C-986A-548C60C40418` |
| MacVim       | `5A2D62AF-4725-492B-BFC6-DAB411D1AA86` |
| Sublime Text | `2EF4C1A0-8FE2-11E3-BAA8-0800200C9A66` |
| TextMate     | `46C1F8A8-A069-4E54-A427-30D45342674F` |

Note that the [Aquamacs 
bundle](https://github.com/bsvingen/mailmate-bundles) is not currently 
included with MailMate.

Dead window? Is MailMate hanging?
