[MlMt] Future of Markdown syntax in Mailmate

[Andreas Sahlbach]

Oh interesting, it is actually working (I though it's not supported), 
because

1. I am missing
     a) this
     b) nested list

which renders as a single line in HTML preview. Might be just a bug.

I also would like to see
- this
- as
- a list

which is not recognized as list in sundown.

I am missing ~~strikethrough~~ as well.

Or the fact that when I quote this:

> ```java public class Main {
>     public static void main(String[] args) {
>         System.out.println("This will be printed");
>     }
> }
> ```

it is not rendered properly anymore.

But again: I am just one user, writing a lot Github Flavored Markdown 
and missing some of the features or features in general (and I have not 
listed all).

Others might have a different opinion. Would be nice to have the 
markdown syntax a bit more configurable and adjustable and to see some 
progress here.
8 year old codes starts smelling...
