Using Content-Type: text/markdown                                               
                                                                                
   [1]Over on LWN, some discussion came up about rendering and generating       
   text/markdown variants of e-mails                                            
                                                                                
   This is similar to (but maybe simpler than) [2]a proposal that was           
   discussed on the alot bug tracker earlier this year.                         
                                                                                
   I thought i'd drop this mail as a marker for the start of a longer           
   discussion if anyone wants to try to take it further.                        
                                                                                
Next Steps                                                                      
                                                                                
   I think this mail is (hopefully) actually composed correctly as              
   text/markdown.                                                               
                                                                                
   Does anyone's MUA render it properly? Anyone want to post screenshots or     
   other renderings?                                                            
                                                                                
   Anyone have suggestions about message composition in markdown?               
                                                                                
        --dkg
