<p dir="auto">That sounds like something the sender of the message should be worrying about. Not the MUA. :-)</p>

<p dir="auto">I (with far less knowledge than you) would do this: Allow other Markdown processors to be used (defined in bundles maybe), but when using anything other than “Built-in”, remove <code>markup=markdown</code> from the <code>Content-Type</code> header. The only drawback I can think of is that, if you don’t include the HTML part when sending, you won’t see HTML when reading back over your own messages.</p>
<p dir="auto">You <em>could</em> specify the Markdown flavor in the <code>Content-type</code> header, or in some new header like <code>X-Markdown-Implementation</code>. The theory being that the recipient (if he also had that bundle) could use it to render the HTML. But that’s getting pretty complicated.</p>
