I use Thunderbird to read this forum and have gotten jealous of the Markdown formatting that the website supports but that Thunderbird doesn't. So I made an extension to render Markdown-formatted messages in Thunderbird.

Unfortunately this doesn't allow sending messages with Markdown formatting from Thunderbird—that would probably belong in the Markdown-here extension but can't work yet because Thunderbird currently doesn't allow modifying the content-type header (bug filed by Vladimir). My extension is limited to reading Markdown-formatted messages.

cybershadow came up a while ago with a nice hack around this issue:
https://gist.github.com/CyberShadow/ccb3813d5953e5e7f2c53fe43275f986

I put it in a ready to use dub project (but did not put it to the registry).

Kind regards,
