    Can’t one just use Markdown syntax on a plaintext email? After that it is up to the client to render it as HTML with matkup. Though I agree with your point that it isn’t commonplace.

      Well, like you said, most clients don’t render Markdown. So, there’s not much of a point in using it if you know it won’t render correctly.

      I think at one point I used a thunderbird plugin where you could write emails in markdown, but it would just convert them to html, since no email clients are expecting to read markdown.
