I have the free apple developer subscription, but does the yearly

Or is everybody just taking the time to reverse engineer this stuff?
It would appear that the latter is the case. I'm a select member, and
I don't know of any secret caches of documentation that aren't available
to the free members, (correct me if I'm wrong, folks) except for things
related to seed-release software and API's.
That said, Mail.app's internal API's don't seem to fall into this
category.
That is a shame, since the only reasonable API into accessing mail
programmatically on any platform is Microsoft's MAPI (argh). Apple
should provide Cocoa developers at least a little help here.
Lacking that, could anyone point to hints how to actually do one of
these reverse engineering hacks? (I guess looking into GPGMail is
possibly one round-about way to do it...)
thanks,

No. In fact, the GPGMail home page says:
GPGMail is a complete hack, relying on Mail's private internal API.
Use it at your own risks!
You won't even find headers for the APIs they use on your system,
but they can probably be constructed using class-dump.
