Re: [MlMt] Markdown Engines
Interesting. How to place a footnote above the signature and an e-mail thread that is included in a message? Even if I place the footnote text above the signature MM puts it at the very end of the message body.

This does not work well for emails and therefore MailMate handles it differently. Some other email client developer might make a different decision. The behavior might even differ between different versions of MailMate (due to changes in its Markdown utility). In these cases, where the Markdown is very variant specific, text/markdown (RFC 7763) is probably the right thing to do instead of text/plain markup=markdown. I understand that would open an entirely new can of worms. It certainly would. This RFC is fine for MIME types in general, but (in practice) I think it would fail completely if used for the actual content of the email. Most email clients should just consider it to be `text/plain`. That won't happen if it had its own MIME type -- *and* it would require the generation of a `text/plain` alternative which would essentially mean that the same text would be in the email twice (HTML is bad enough). Another issue is that I strongly believe the use of Markdown in emails should nicely co-exist with `format=flowed`. Would you like to co-author an RFC? :-) No :) Maybe the option you really need is for MailMate to only generate HTML if you use “non-trivial” Markdown. That would be fine! I think something like this is the best way forward. No promises though. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

The differences are still very subtle and mostly (only?) related to coloring of quoted content. It's unlikely to change before I also add a feature where the MailMate recipient can ignore/overrule any styling done by the sender. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

The entire email goes through the Markdown converter and this will place footnotes at the end. I don't think the Markdown syntax itself (CommonMark) provides any way to explicitly place the footnote, but I haven't actually checked. I can think of ways to improve this, but it's not a high priority. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Markdown Engines
Thank you for your feedback. This means that footnotes are only useful for new mails. It is understood that the priority is on technical finesse, but the practicality and simplicity of simply writing messages should not be underestimated in an email client. Markdown in particular thrives on its simplicity and practicality. If it doesn't require too many changes, I for one would be glad if improvements for composing messages found their way to the top of the to-do list. --Thomas On 3 Jul 2024, at 22:06, Benny Kjær Nielsen wrote: On 3 Jul 2024, at 9:30, Thomas Eckhold wrote: Interesting.
