[MlMt] BusyContacts and MailMate integration

[Blayne Puklich]

Ha! Got it working on my MacBook Air running MacOS 10.11.6 and the same 
versions of MailMate and BusyContacts that you’ve got, Paul. Rock!

Now I need to figure out why it doesn’t work on the MacBook Pro with 
the same software versions… I’ll post back what I figure out in case 
it might help someone else.
