Thanks for helping out.

For this reason, it is better to place the bundle here:

	~/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/

It might be better to use the TextMate bundle as inspiration. This 
includes a warning about the need to “install” the command. It also 
shows the use of the `--wait` command line argument which googling seems 
to show atom supports. Finally, the PATH variable is shorter. It would 
also be nice if it only includes the location(s) atom actually uses.

Would you like to make these changes or should I fork and make them 
myself (when I have time)? In any case, I'll be glad to include the 
bundle in the default set of bundles available in MailMate.

Again, thanks for helping out.
