It's not. Markdown is markdown. It can render to HTML, but that's a different thing. I struggle to understand why this is even a point of contention.

That's you. My work emails receives 25-50 real human a day. I get less than that amount in SMS in an whole year on my work phone. Even my personal email is significantly more email than SMS. SMS is dying and replaced with messengers e.g. Teams, Signal, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger etc.
No u. I understand if you are manager/owner you might be running comms via email. But internally all of that went to slack for good reason - lack of history is a feature, not a bug.

Hmm, no mention of JavaScript or remote resources, nor any of the Linux clients.
I love it! Designing emails is always a bit of a pain. With that said… plain text emails are so sexy ;).
IMO, HTML was the worst thing that ever happened to email. Plain text content is the best content.
This reads me as "I prefer letters" or "I prefer fax" HTML is what non-techies want, or rather, they want to insert pictures and videos directly inline. They want to bold and highlight. They want bullet lists and numbered lists. They want to change fonts, make headlines, etc.. And they want it all to reflow for their device. I do to. I don't want to say in the 70s terminal. I get that lots of techies wish the world w…
