Hi Philip and everybody,

to be clear: I am supporting the proposition to remove the requrement to
wrap lines. I would like to add that I think that we should not organise
GRs on that kind of questions.

I am also exploring the use of text/markdown as the default content type
for my emails.

Have a nice day,

I cannot read your email at all with K-9 Mail on Android, because text/markdown is not treated like text at all, and the file cannot be
opened with any app I have installed at the moment. Frankly, I initially thought you sent some garbage by accident and ignored the mail.

Mutt at least tells me now that I'm dealing with text/markdown, so I
manually added a mailcap entry:

text/markdown; iconv -f %{charset} -t utf-8 | pandoc -f markdown -t
plain; copiousoutput

It works somewhat, but it mangles quotes quite badly since pandoc does
not know about '>' quote markers (I quoted your mail in full and this is pretty much how it is rendered in mutt).


Cheers
Timo

It should work, but perhaps what you are experiencing is that by default
pandoc expects a blank line between changes of blockquote level: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-blank_before_blockquote

Maybe this works: pandoc -f markdown-blank_before_blockquote -t plain

(if not, then try replace "-" with "+")

Yes, that solved the issue. Thank you very much!
