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

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 :-)

(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.)
