Yes, currently you have to create a bundle to do this. The “missing” 
feature is a GUI to actually do this since doing it manually is a bit 
complex and badly documented. It allows you to use any scripting 
language and you can control the input provided to the script and you 
can use the output of the script to tell MailMate to perform various 
tasks. I've recently sent a few example bundles to the list and this is 
a good starting point. The most important thing to remember is that 
every use of the `uuid` value must have a unique value. This can be 
generated using the `uuidgen` command in a Terminal window.
