It seems like the benefit is in sending markdown email from cli. I'd actually love to be able to do this now that I think about it (I'm sure there's ways to do this already)

I feel this unnecessarily complicates things. If you want to send emails via SES, why not just use something like https://www.sendwithses.com or https://moonmail.io/

What is a markdown email? Is it a mail body written in markdown, using the unprocessed markdown for the text/plain part, and generating a html part from the same? Pretty sure you could to that with pandoc and heirloom mailx or something similar.
