no, and I personally like it that way as I like editing in text mode 
over a visual one.

Good thing is that if you know of an editor that can do what you are 
looking for then mailmate most likely can use it to edit/create the mail 
for you :)
>>> 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.
>>
>> That sounds like something you can do with osx text services.

>> Ever tried out

>> His markdown services might help you out.
>
> But I do not talk about markdown.
>
> I like to send a plain text message and than a receiver who uses a
> plain text mail client (which cannot view html or markdown) should see
> the text in the way I posted it above. Nicely formatted plain text.
