MailMate has so-called bundles (see the Bundles preferences pane). In 
addition to that, there is the 
[`emate`](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/emate) command and an extended 
[`mailto:`](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/extended_url_scheme) URL 
scheme. There is little AppleScript support, but the `perform` command 
can be quite useful. Apparently, I've not documented [that last 
one](https://www.mail-archive.com/mailmate@lists.freron.com/msg03350.html) 
:-(

I've looked into this in the past and it appears to be a huge task to 
replicate (and far from straightforward).

If you ask them then let them know I'm willing to add whatever they need 
to make it work. I *think* all they need is the 
[AppleScript](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/extended_url_scheme) 
support for creating new messages.
