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](https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/render
markdown-messages/) 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](https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mar
down-here-revival/) extension but can't work yet because Thunderbird currently
[doesn't allow modifying the content-type
header](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1717221) (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,
Christian
