Apparently plain text is actually interpreted as Markdown.  You can
mark a block as code by surrounding it with three backticks (a "Fenced
Code Block") or by indenting by 4 spaces.

I presume though that if it's a multipart message, the content used in
the post will be the HTML bit, not the plain text bit.

Personally I think plain text emails should be rendered as such. If
Markdown elements are detected, then render it as Markdown.

I haven't tested it, just reflecting what people have said and by
looking up the Markdown reference manual.
