[MlMt] BusyContacts and MailMate integration

[Paul Flicek]

I have MailMate 1.9.6 (5347) and BusyContacts 1.1.6 on macOS 10.12.1.

I've used BusyContacts since it was in beta and have a full license.  I 
switched from Apple Mail to MailMate after I started using BC.  It 
worked the same on both sides of the mail transition.
