Hi, I'm not sure there's much Benny can do about this. For better or
for worse, this is how Markdown works. See
https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#ordered-lists.
I can see two options:
- select "Plain text" instead of "Markdown" in the toolbar above the
headers in the composer pane.
- escape the period with a backslash, like so:
unescaped:
11. December
24. December
escaped:
11\. December
24\. December
(select "View->Show Raw Message") to see how I did that.

Hi,
please see the attached screenshot for an example of what happens when
I compose an email in MailMate and write down some dates line by line.
The preview at the bottom of the compose window shows that the HTML
part of the message contains different dates than those I’ve typed
in.
What I think happens here is that MailMate parses the lines with dates
as an ordered HTML list and just continues the numbering despite mine
being not in increments of 1 (and despite, well, this not being a
numbered list).
This behavior completely screwed up the scheduling for some of my
workshops because my clients would see different dates than me.
Granted, it’s not equally dangerous everywhere, depending on how
dates are written in different languages (the example in my screenshot
is German, obviously). Anyway, I don’t think MailMate should be
allowed to do this.
I’m running MailMate 2.0 (6290) on macOS 26.1.
Cheers
