There's a lot of good things to be said about carefully crafting 
emails!

Regardless, to most of us who've been writing text/plain emails all 
of our lives, using ASCII characters for emphasis and hand-crafting 
numbered and itemised lists, Markdown will hardly even have a 
learning curve.

The only thing to watch out for is the "false positives", like I had 
the other day when part of an email of mine was interpreted by 
pandoc to be LaTeX math. I've since disabled the pandoc extension in 
[my script I use with mutt][1], though there remain quite a number 
of extensions allowing for funky corner case surprises, especially 
in quotes from other people! Fun times ahead!
