On: Ask HN: Why is there no email client based on Markdown?

[curtisblaine]

How should it work? Should it only render emails written in the Markdown format and fall back to raw text for html emails? Given that almost every email nowadays is HTML, it would be a pretty useless client.

In fact, given the need to process markdown apps would just convert markdown to HTML! Job done.
