[MlMt] search for different Flags

[Mike Petonic]

Hi Gary --

The beauty of MailMate and what attracted me to it is the extensibility 
and customizability.  But all that comes at a price as there are few 
GUIs that are available for advanced options such as key bindings to 
commands, and notably, multi-command bindings to keys.  For 
multi-commands on any other email client, you'd have to write a script 
for it.

Please look at the following pages, it'll get you started.

* https://manual.mailmate-app.com/custom_key_bindings

* https://manual.mailmate-app.com/key_binding_selectors

That's how I did it.  And then prepare to spend a lot of time amazed at 
the power of this system.

All the best,
-Mike
