Thanks for your feedback : )
I will snip those points, where I have no further enquiry.

Which specific tasks do you solve with those bundles please?

Until now, me as a reader of incomming messages, prefer text only
view.
Because so few people are using HTML in a useful way.

When it comes to composing a message I prefer a markdowneditor, which
standard mode is "show the generated html view" while editing.
My eyes just don't like to see the syntax of markdown. 

Summarized:

I would love to have a text editor for mail composing, which offers
formatting for plain text tasks.

Example:
Format a numbered list. 

Before formatting:

* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce
vehicula orci vitae
* Felis congue porta. Maecenas finibus fermentum erat. Aenean pulvinar
consequat arcu

After formatting:

 1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce 
    vehicula orci vitae
  
 2. Felis congue porta. Maecenas finibus fermentum erat. Aenean 
    pulvinar consequat arcu

But I have never heard that such a mail compose plain text editor
exist.

Good hint! 
For curiousity: Does the internal search of MM uses an index as well?

Until now I'm not sure, if I ever need that feature. Usually I was
just fine with the search function, when I had to look into mails of
the past. But may I will like it, when I try to finde usefull cases
for me.

Oh, that surprises me. I had in my mind, that MM allows editing SIEVE
rules.

I'm not sure, if I understand you correctly.
SIEVE will do the filtering job on the server.
That's why I would like to use it.

I just don't want to be forced to open the webinterface of my provider
to add a new rule.
I like to do that from my mail client.
