Hmm, I'm not sure how such an interface should work. Do you simply want 
to be able to edit the rules of a mailbox in a text editor? (Similar to 
what you do now, but without the need for a relaunch)?

I have an old todo item that each tag should have a setting which tells 
MailMate whether it's a message-based tag or a thread-based tag. The 
latter type would work as you describe I believe.

Using rules you could also get what you want, but you would need a new 
rule for each tag which might be cumbersome...
