<p dir="auto">Nope, I've never added/enabled it. The Markdown handler is based on <code>sundown</code> (previously known as <code>upskirt</code>). My changes for the purpose of emails are <a href="https://github.com/freron/upskirt">here</a>. It's still in flux, because I don't take the time to carefully consider the (important) details. <a href="http://blog.freron.com/2011/thoughts-on-writing-emails-using-markdown/">Here</a> are my original thoughts on using Markdown for emails.</p>

<p dir="auto">If not, I think that would be an ideal addition. Half the point of writing emails in Markdown for me is to have all the punctuation come out correctly without having to think about it... (<- that should be an elipsis :) ).</p>

<p dir="auto">Good point. One caveat is that I would really not want to generate HTML just because some punctuation is used, that is, SmartyPants should be somewhat independent of the Markdown conversion. That's an implementation note for myself :-)</p>
<p dir="auto">(Currently, MailMate does not generate an HTML body part if it doesn't find any Markdown-related markup in the generated output. I really do prefer plain text messages whenever possible.)</p>
