I already have typesetting software. ssg's existence doesn't make

Hi Christoph,
In vi (nvi) I have some maps for mail (I'm using groff):
"groff to plain utf8 and open as alternate %.ftext
map =¡ :w^M:!groff -kstep -ms -Tutf8 -P -cobu % > %.fmt^M:e%.fmt^M
"Change to alternate :e#
map V :w^M:e#^M
"spell Troff
map =Ç :w^M:!hunspell -n -d en_US %^M:e!

just needs a tool

It you really want to typeset your e-mails, why not use
markdown?
* It is human readable, so no-one needs any fancy frontend

nature to many people.
* Much non-markdown mail also happens
