I wanna bring Markdown support to SMTP. So instead of transferring both
"text/plain" and "text/html" versions, future mails can use only
"text/markdown".
Well, right off the top, there's the end to end problem.
Say you support text/markdown, and your mail server accepts it to deliver. What
happens if my mail server doesn't support markdown? Do you send a text/markdown
and hope my MUA can deal with it? If you do that, why bother with an SMTP
intervention?
Also, see RFC1341, and text/richtext. Ask yourself why you never see e-mails
with it.
