As you described, it took me to the header section.

However, as part of the macro, I had the view switch to "Show Raw Message", 
which would then select all the email (header & body).

I was able to perform the CMD-A -> CMD-C and get the entire content copied to 
the clipboard.

That, within MailMate, was about as far as I could take it without doing 
anything special.

**HOWEVER**

I am a user of **Keyboard Maestro** as well (and LOVE it!).

The outcome I was looking for was this:
**Hit a Macro Key (CMD-S), select the e-mail body (headers optional), and have 
Apple Intelligence perform a summary of the selection.**

I have completed this and it works just fine. No need for anything API Key 
related or needing to maintain a Bundle :)

I have attached screen shot of the macro as well a copy of the macro itself.

I simply "cheated" with Keyboard Maestro: One of the "features" is the ability 
to perform a "Mouse Click" and provide a relative position - So... I did...

The macro does this:
  - I hit CMD-S (Keyboard Maestro kicks in); Keyboard Maestro is configured to 
know that I am "in" *MAilMate*
  - Keyboard Maestro then performs
    - A "Mouse Click" in the bottom right corner of the mail preview screen
    - CMD-A
    - CMD-C
    - From the *MailMate* menu, selects "Edit -> Writing Tools -> Summarize"

Viola - the Apple Intelligence summary pops up and all is right with the 
world...

So, while I couldn't get there using MailMate alone, I could get there using 
MailMate and Keyboard Maestro :)
