[MlMt] Future of Markdown syntax in Mailmate

[Sam Hathaway]

I haven’t tried this, but you MIGHT be able to replace the Sundown 
binary inside MailMate.app with a symlink to the processor of your 
choice. It looks like Sundown takes markdown on stdin and emits HTML on 
stdout. It doesn’t appear to need any arguments. You may need to write 
a wrapper script to your favorite markdown processor to behave 
similarly.

On my system, MailMate’s embedded sundown binary is located at 
`/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/sundown`.

Good luck!
