I think this would be a good idea. I see many emails where 
inline-emphasis is used unintentionally and I see very few where it is 
used intentionally. If anyone feels strongly against such a change then 
speak up now.

Somewhat related, I regularly receive requests for *adding* various 
Markdown features/flavors and the plan is to handle it like this when I 
get time to implement it: Allow custom Markdown (or other syntax) 
converters which can be used to generate the HTML body part of a 
message, but when this is done then the converter must also provide the 
plain text body part and MailMate won't add anything to the headers of 
the message about the plain text body part being Markdown text.
