That would be great if we can write mail in markdown. It's easy, quick and effectif but mayde not enought friendly but we might can bind this with classic editor.

I think this could be implemented as an addon. Do you now a free (as is beer) Markdown editor you would like to use to compose your messages ?

I think a dedicated editor for markdown is not especially relevant. But we may want to have a "preview" field where the content is rendered (in this case, using marked is certainly the best choice).

It raises another point: shall we do send markdown formatted messages as it (in markdown raw flavour) or should we convert them to HTML (e.g. using marked) before sending? Same question if we received a mail markdown-formatted: do we keep it as it, or render it's content to display it?

Personnaly, I hope one day our emails client will render automatically markdown formatted content, and we send our mails in the markdown format, which is a good middle-way solution to unbloat this shitty html-emails :smile:. Maybe Cozy-emails should be the deal-breaker :wink:. Note that the feature to automatically render markdown mails, and/or render mails before sending can be some options in a preferences section.
