when I met with BS last night I discussed the timeline with him. I was specifically asking about when Mat's timeline ended (bascially when he travelled to Caemlyn). He said about 30 days before the end of the book (by Rand and Egwene's timeline). Then he looked at me and said, you do realize the significance of 30 days don't you?
So, Mat clearly waits the 30 days without opening Verin's letter. However, I'll bet afterwords, he does go ahead and open the letter at some point. But, by then it may not reveal that much.

Sounds like an Aes Sedai trick

Verin is one of the few Aes Sedai intelligent enough to pull off such a trick *NM*

If the Pattern requires Mat to leave before 30 days, then it will force him to.

Mat, by now, must have serious concerns about Verin being Black Ajah

I don't think Mat thinks that seriously about it, to be honest.

I highly doubt it... Mat has suspected other Aes Sedai of being BA before, namely Joline

Which is why I think Mat trusts her - they are both very similar.

What's the significance of the 30 days?? *NM*

So BS was saying that it was significant that 30 days had passed by the end of the book? *NM*

Wait...I thought it was that he had to agree to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS in the letter

I am not sure if I am wrong on that... Look at Egwene and Nynaeve's early interogations of the BA

See KCFs post above... It appears that Mat may be staying in Caemlyn the full 30 days

Thus, she could ensure that he wouldn't see anything until she was dead or dying, right?
