On: Mutt 1.7.0 released

How about using Pandoc[0] as part of your wrapping pipeline? It supports the full round trip between markdown, HTML, and back. Seems like this would be a perfect use case for it.

This is insanely brilliant. I am now happy to use Mutt again.

Yeah, I came here to suggest pandoc too.

You can easily script mutt to include a plaintext file and an html one generated by pandoc, so that people reading your emails can fall back to a plain text version of your mails in case they can't view html.

If you folks have already done the legwork on this, could you please publish your setup?

Here is what I use.

  # convert markdown to html via pandoc

  macro compose \e5 "F pandoc -s -f markdown -t html \ny^T^Utext/html; charset='utf-8'\n"

Thanks!

Yes please! This sounds intriguing. I send plain text only from mutt but including HTML from Markdown via Pandoc would be very cool.
