As a mutt user, I find pandoc useful to generate HTML mail from a normal plaintext email starting point. Markdown (a valid "from" format for pandoc) is after all essentially just plaintext email "markup", so it's fairly transparent. Obviously this might be a rather inflammatory statement in itself, as HTML email is its own special hell for many people, but it's hard to get away from having to send the occasional piece when interacting with the wider world that don't spend their lives like me in an rxvt window. There's some nice examples (not mine) here: https://nosubstance.me/post/mutt-secret-sauce/
