That is correct.

This is because of the “Window ▸ Message Viewer” menu item in 
Apple Mail. I'm willing to add this feature since I, generally, make 
things work like Apple Mail when there's not strong arguments for doing 
it differently :)

I don't think it ever worked like that. This opens a new window (also in 
MailMate).

I cannot reproduce this. Clicking the Dock icon de-minimizes the window. 
Are you sure?

(⌘-tabbing does not de-minimize, but this is standard behavior.)

I've noted to make ⌘0 behave like Apple Mail.
