[MlMt] BusyContacts and MailMate integration

[Cevc, Baltasar]

It does not work 100 %, but reliably to the extent implemented.
If you haven’t done so, have a look at the settings regarding BusyContacts described here: https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#third-party-applications

In any case, switching the address book gave a boost in productivity, switching to mailmate gave a huge leap forward. It is just so powerful once you learn the small tweaks.

Cheers,
Baltasar

I wanted to use BContacts as an external address book for MM since it does not have its own (using Apple Contacts as my real address book), but that failed. Basically, only AContacts are properly integrated.
