I have been using the gmail web app exclusively for one reason: I use the following Chrome Plugin to convert Markdown to HTML emails: https://chrome.google.com/

  This is doable via a shell script (+ pandoc): # 1. Put markdown on clipboard # 2. Convert to hex out=$(pbpaste | pandoc -f markdown -t html -s | hexdump -ve '1/1 "%.2x"') # 3. Convert to an applescript data class osascript -e "set the clipboard to «data HTML${out}»" # 4. Paste rich HTML You can use something like Alfred or Keyboard Maestro to trigger that script with a keyboard shortcut.

    Very clever! Thanks for sharing! As a programmer, having native markdown support in the app is something I wish for almost every day (especially for code blocks). It's something I plan to add.

      That would for sure get me to pay for it tbh never even thought of that as a feature
