I've often wanted just Markdown syntax coloring. Still text, not HTML -- but with the same kind of syntax coloring you'd see in BBEdit or TextMate. The syntax coloring makes the structure more evident and makes the message more readable. It's a nice compromise between plain text and HTML -- you get structure without the swamp of HTML. Great for sending out change notes to a beta mailing list, for instance. But this is surely plugin-land, I would think. -Brent _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
