compose html mails

[pazz]

I often find myself writing plaintext mails in a format similar to markdown, mentioning links like this 0. It should be great to be able to actually write markdown, and pipe this through a md2html process before sending to have inline links as well.

One alternative would be to actually compose html in the editor, and let alot recognize that when constructing the MIME-structure.

I actually very much like the idea of using markdown or restructured text or similar, and being able to pipe it through a tool to convert to HTML before sending.

You can of course already do that using post-edit hooks. The new thing here would be to actually construct html MiME parts when building the mail to send..
