[MlMt] Markdown Engines

[John Cooper]

I think the number of people who depend on the creation of footnotes when writing replies must be small indeed. Maybe the simplest and most practical solution would be to ask those users to move their footnotes into place manually, as I would do, or to compose their reply in another Markdown generator and paste it into MailMate to send.

Markdown in particular thrives on its simplicity and practicality. If it doesn't require too many changes, I for one would be glad if improvements for composing messages found their way to the top of the to-do list.
