You used markdown three times in your message.
No, I didn't. I just used underscores, which has been used with
plain text for emphasis for decades. Supporting markdown, would
involve stuff like backticks for code highlighting, and special
markup for urls - stuff that doesn't actually provide
information to someone who's reading plain text but just gets
in the way, whereas the underscores _do_ provide information to
someone reading plain text.

FYI, Allegro.CC just uses
<code>
int main()
{
return 0;
}
</code>
as well as <pre> for pre-formatted "monospace" text.
Neither of those would pollute a mailing list in plain-text mode
because they'd exist only at the start and end of code. I'm sure
you had no problem reading my above code.
