org-mime: markdown not html

org-mime: markdown not html

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Does anybody know a package which would allow, using say gnus, to 
markdown-ise an email, that would be useful for sending email to github
issues.

Thanks

Regards

No, sorry. I'm, also not sure Github will accept such MIME emails as an
issue. I think only plain text is supported (I'm not sure they even
support HTML for issue emails)

just try using markdown markup. *Nothing* prevents you doing so, does
it?

As far as I know, GitHub does not interpret Mardown in comments added to
issues via the email interface. Are you suggesting that Github has
special handling for emails that contain text/markdown MIME parts? I
haven't seen this documented anywhere.

Cheers,
Dan

That was my hope, but from the comments I see, this seems not to be the case.

That is what I started to do, I reply to a message, via gnus, when the
reply window pops up I use the indirect-buffer command to switch to
markdown, do my formatting and go back to message mode. 
I hope for a more automated process, there is outorg-edit-as-org that
allows you to edit messages as if they were org file, I hoped to find
something similar for markdown.

Github does, I just tried to add say, **problem** to my text, it is not
recognised, the text send my email is just  plain text.

So sorry for the noise
