**How can I convert my binary plist files into the JSON-like format
the default files use?**
As far as I know, there is no way. MailMate does understand the
'xml1' format produced by plutil.
HOWEVER: the 'defaults' tool still emits the old NeXT plist format. It
may be possible to convert a file by importing it with defaults and
then reading it back out, but I have not tried it.
Thanks a lot, Bill. Great idea! And it works perfectly.
I’ve tested it, do the following:
1. `defaults import your-made-up-domain
/path/to/your/xml1-property-file.plist`
2. `defaults read your-made-up-domain > new-NeXT-property-file.plist`
3. `defaults delete your-made-up-domain`
Then, `new-NeXT-property-file.plist` contains your MailMate keybindings
in the old, but for me new, default format **which is understood by
MailMate**.
