That should be unrelated to MailMate I believe.

You should also be able to open it in MailMate. MailMate provides a URL 
which should default to MailMate if you have selected MailMate as the 
default in the **MailMate** General preferences pane.

You don't mean when using the MailMate command? Because I didn't see 
this. It just went into a global Inbox.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but you can select multiple messages in 
MailMate before calling the command. But I guess, in this case you need 
MailMate to create a single `.mbox` file? (Hmm, maybe I should consider 
an `.mbox` input type for commands in MailMate. That could be used for 
an export command as well.)
