MailMate has a customizable layout engine that allows for all kinds of variations, but if I'm not mistaken, the panel devoted to listing email messages is limited to a strict spreadsheet-style row and column format.

Correct.

Many mail clients, while still listing messages row by row, allow the formatting of "column" data to be more varied within each row. For instance, the sender may be listed _above_ the message title, with the time right-aligned on the same line as the sender. Perhaps a snippet is included below the title, rather than in a separate column.

I think it's usually two completely separate modes. In other words, it's either a single column with rich data or multiple columns with simple data per column. (A combination probably wouldn't work well.)

Is there any chance that such a more flexible layout might come to MailMate?

There's a chance, but I haven't done any work on it yet (and it's a major change/feature).
