Yeah, I get that and I agree. *My* point is that “not processed” 
doesn’t exist in the current version of MailMate. The original 
Markdown text might be perfectly readable, but there’s no way to 
actually *see* it with the current behavior. If the plain-text part 
includes the `markup=markdown` header, MailMate renders it and shows you 
the resulting HTML.

To see what I mean, select the message you just sent me and hit ⌥⌘[ 
to view the “plain text” version. You’ll see that it’s just HTML 
without your stylesheet. If you try the same thing on my message, 
there’ll be no difference at all because one is the HTML generated by 
MailMate on my end and one is the HTML generated by MailMate on your end 
(both from the same source).

With the possible future implementation, Benny has indicated that 
`markup=markdown` won’t be added for those using custom parsers, which 
will make it possible to view the sender’s original Markdown without 
any assumptions about how it should be processed. That’s why I think 
it’s worth it to spend time on official support for additional 
Markdown parsers.
