[MlMt] copy markdown from a message?

Is there a way to copy markdown from a message in MailMate? I need to do 
this from both messages I received and messages I previously sent.

When I copy-paste into another markdown-compatible program (e.g., Notion 
web app) it comes across as plain text.

My current hack is to press Cmd-Shift-D to resend the message and copy 
markdown from there. But it would be easier to copy directly from the 
rendered email. And this hack doesn’t work for copying formatted text 
from messages that were replied to (anything below the top message in 
and email with replies or forwards).

e.g. here is some text I’d like to copy as markdown from a formatted 
message:
