95% of the email I send is unstyled. Occasionally I’ll throw in bold text. Does this really solve a problem for the everyday man or woman?

- krick 9y agoIt only makes sense if an email is "unstyled". Thunderbird manages to fuck up my email layout all the time if I need to add a few lines of preformated text, occasional bullet list or some highlighting. If I try to write plaintext-only emails it fucks up RE: and FWD: emails for most normal people. If I use "rich" text emails with standard settings email client will do everything to fuck them up and while it will look ok on my screen it will end up with some smart-ass who uses plaintext-only client whining about me writing shitty formated emails. So, I don't know if using this plugin will feel helpful (I doubt it, since second most used formatting option for me is text-highlighting with color — indispensable when marking up some airline fare construction quote or something else cryptic enough, — which markdown doesn't really support), but the problem it tries to solve definitely exists.
