And the way this works underneath, it makes an invisible file called 
'Icon' at the top level of the application package. So you could always 
do this manually once, then set up a script (or similar) to copy that 
same 'Icon' file back in there regularly/after MailMate updates.

(With some applications, you can be lucky and find that updates only 
replace the contents of the application package, rather than the whole 
thing -- and that way, your custom icon survives across updates with no 
further intervention on your part. I've been pleasantly surprised to 
find this is the case for iTunes, for many versions. :-))
