rendering and generating text/markdown parts

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Using `Content-Type: text/markdown`
-----------------------------------

[Over on LWN, some discussion came up about rendering and generating
text/markdown variants of e-mails](https://lwn.net/Articles/730277/)

This is similar to (but maybe simpler than) [a proposal that was
discussed on the alot bug tracker earlier this
year](https://github.com/pazz/alot/issues/1051).

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?
