[MlMt] Markdown tables and the Markdown engine in general

Hi there

I have noticed (through trial and error) that Markdown tables seem to 
need at least three dashes per column in the “line” under the 
header, e.g.

```
| aaa   | bbb  |
|-------|------|
| hallo | duda |
| hallo | duda |
```

works, while

```
| aaa | bbb  |
| -- | -- |
| hallo | duda |
| hallo | duda |
```

doesn’t work.

Is there anywhere some docs for this particular Markdown dialect. - 
MailMate’s help just points to Gruber’s page, which doesn’t say 
anything about tables. Which engine is used? Can we change to another 
engine?

Many thanks for any help,
Leo
