There are at least two plugins for Thunderbird 68+ that work in Postbox 7.0.30: Even though this plugin doesn't seem to function anymore in Thunderbird 78+, I have found out that it works almost flawlessly in Postbox 7.0.30. There has been some work from the community on a Markdown Here plugin for Thunderbird 68+, which is documented here at Support Thunderbird 68 #577. So I was subscribing to the github issues of Markdown here and was hoping someone would make the extension work in Thunderbird and maybe with some tweaks it would work in Postbox as well. Thunderbird changed their extension interface, Postbox just dropped extensions all together and I was left with their awful html editor.
POSTBOX EMAIL INSTALL
Thanks to the open Mozilla Thunderbird email client with the option to install extensions, Thunderbird was able to convert markdown to nice HTML with the extension Markdown here, that alo allowed the conversion of Markdown in textareas in the browser.Īnd thanks to Postbox, the email client of my choice, being a fork of Thunderbird, Markdown here worked flawlessly in Postbox until it didn't. We don't know how this email arrives on the other side and how messed up the response of this HTML email will be, but this is about my experience! :)
If you send plain text emails and want to emphasis a word you used something like this to make text **bold** and depending on the mail client that received the mail, it would even appear bold.įor Markdown it's the same, so it would be natural to compose plain text emails with the limited set of Markdown formatting like the following: Hi everyone,Īnd a Javascript file with the following content:Īnd then on send, convert it to html with nice syntaxhighlighting and be done.
It's beyond me, that there is almost no 1 email client that offers Markdown to compose email messages and then turn it to HTML once you send it.
