That's interesting:

$ file ~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist
/Users/XXXX/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist: Apple binary 
property list

$ sw_vers
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.15.7
BuildVersion:	19H2026

$ man pl | grep old
      pl can be used to check the syntax of old-style ASCII property 
list

Do not know when "old-style ASCII" plists were superseded by "Apple 
binary."
