I’m also using the BBEdit command (but not automatically — I use a 
keyboard shortcut when I want to edit a particular message using 
BBEdit), and I also see this behaviour. I think it is a feature, so that 
you are taken to the same line in BBEdit as the cursor was on in 
MailMate; it’s just that BBEdit selects the line, rather than simply 
moving to it.

One way to stop this would be to edit the file:

     ~/Library/Application 
Support/MailMate/Managed/Bundles/BBEdit.mmbundle/Support/bin/edit

…and remove the ‘+${MM_LINE_NUMBER}’ part.

Otherwise, it’s probably a feature request to Bare Bones Software for 
a way to go to a line from the bbedit tool without selecting it (like 
the built-in Go To Line command does).
