Wow, am I tried of the snotty "tried google?" snipes in mail lists.
Please just briefly explain what you meant; as in - answer questions
asked.  Both because (a) searching the Internet is less useful and
reliable every day and (b) it's polite.

I'm aware of markdown - I just don't see the relevance in relation to
e-mail.  Unless the received can display Markdown; why not just compose
in and send HTML? [assuming text/plain is not sufficient].  There is a
pretty good HTML editor included in Evolution.  Markdown is just another
abstraction to achieve the same end.
