No, and it's kind of a bug. Originally, MailMate did not support 
creating HTML at all. Markdown was a proof-of-concept with respect to 
creating rich text emails without the use of HTML, but it relied on 
receiving email clients to convert/display Markdown (therefore only 
working for MailMate itself). When MailMate also became capable at 
creating an HTML body part I didn't change how plain text (Markdown) 
body parts were displayed (for various technical reasons it was 
non-trivial).

The good news is that I've changed it now. I have also introduced a 
toggle in the “View ▸ Message Body Parts” menu to control it. By 
default, Markdown is not converted if the message contains an HTML body 
part.

Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update 
preferences pane.
