That's because I've been using Thunderbird for mail and news for a long
time now and unfortunately it is impossible to convince Thunderbird to
add the necessary header field. (Vladimir has a recommendation where I
can run a simply local server that augments Thunderbird's headers but I
haven't tried it yet.)
I should go back to using Emacs for news. I am pretty sure it will be
configurable.

This is *exactly* how I do it. Though I have started creating an
iopipe-based clone cause I wanted to see if I could do it. Unfortunately
std.io is not mature enough.
I plan to have a dub project so you can just `dub run
thunderbirdmarkdown` and now you have a solution.
And to answer someone's question, I think everyone is fine with
markdown, they just don't always have the capability.
I will note though, that some people use the mechanism for links that
puts the link at the bottom of the post, and this can be annoying when
you reply, if you don't include the link definition, it doesn't render
correctly.
