[MlMt] Two questions

[Jeff Bartig]

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention that mailmate now supports
mermaid diagrams.  This is going to be useful.

https://updates.mailmate-app.com/release_notes_archive/MailMate_r6065.html

Searching the release notes for "mermaid", I found that this feature was
added in version 5918, with the following in the release notes:

New: Capable of rendering diagrams using Mermaid. Use the language
> identifier mermaid (or diagram) in a fenced code block. Since there’s no
> GUI setting yet, you also need to enable the following hidden preference:
> defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmBundleCommandForDiagramGeneration
> -string "BCA016BB-96DF-4EBB-8DD6-4BE467FCA194"


Even in version 6065 I'm not finding any setting in mailmate to enable
mermaid.  As soon as I issued the suggested 'defaults' command at a
terminal shell prompt, the mermaid feature started working for me.
