Re: modifying keyboard shortcuts.

I think the best way to do that is to use OS X's built-in feature to 
override the keyboard shortcut for any menu item.

I tested it with one of the bundle commands that already had a shortcut, 
and the change worked.

The benefit of this solution is that it avoids the hassle of having to 
make copies of bundles and edit their internals, and that you won't have 
to do this every time a bundle gets updated.

As for modifying their actions, I can't advise on that - you could edit 
them in place, and my guess is that MailMate will write over the old 
files when the bundle is updated, but I'm not sure.
