Perhaps they have their own special 'grid-like' control instead of using
the standard grid?

Yup. For LaszloMail, we had to replace the grid component with something custom for performance reasons. Also, the grid component uses some pretty wierd tricks to make it easier to use, and if I remember correctly, the mail team had trouble getting a handle on the point at which replication
was done ;)

I don't suppose Laszlo Systems would consider releasing some of the code for this, if for no other reason than to show people how the system can be customized?

In the upcoming release, OpenLaszlo 3.2, the incubator contains a dozen or so components developed for Laszlo Mail, but not the message grid, since it's very mail-specific. The contributed components are the ones that seemed most general: buttons and text controls and comboboxes and lists. These are pretty decent examples of how to customize components. In particular, you may be interested in newvscrollbar, which is a subclass of basescrollbar with a custom look, newcheckbox, which is a subclass of basecheckbox, or my personal favorite, stylishbutton, which is a subclass of basebutton.

These components can be found in lps/components/incubator in the source tree for OpenLaszlo 3.2cr1 (community release 1):
