[MlMt] Mail archiving best practice

[Matthew Cawood]

Well that was quick! Works well, except that for some reason I can't 
open mail attachments in Devonthink (open the .eml file in Apple Mail, 
and the attachment is there, though).

As for configuring where the exported email goes in Devonthink: 
Devonthink pops up an HUD that allows you to select the location, or 
create a new folder.

I wonder if the coding you've done will now give Devonthink the hooks to 
import whole mailboxes from MailMate, as it can with Apple Mail?

Thanks for this. Wonderful service!
