I'm the author of the plugin. You're not missing anything.
Unfortunately, the plugin stopped working somewhat recently due to a
change in the security models in browsers (all major ones, as far as
I know) where loading an external file in the way MailMate enabled
the plugin to do was considered insecure and no longer allowed. The
problem is explained by Benny [in this GitHub
issue](https://github.com/sheriferson/Visualize.mmBundle/issues/6#issuecomment-334471941).
It seems that for this to work, MailMate (or the plugin) would need
to spin up a simple http server to be able to read the file generated
by MailMate.
Have you looked at switching to the current version of the D3
framework? It seems to have switched how it retrieves external data
(no more XMLHttpRequest) which MAY solve the issue.
I've finally had some time to look at this, and posted a [response to
the
issue](https://github.com/sheriferson/Visualize.mmBundle/issues/6#issuecomment-412742671)
with results of investigation and some options.
I did try using the latest d3 framework but it didn't solve the problem
(at least not without other code changes). I may be missing something
though — if you've seen a recent example of D3 successfully reading an
external data file locally without a local server running, I'd
appreciate a link.
