Ask HN: Any email platform that uses Markdown and is fully hot-keyed out?

It's all there in the title. Really curious what some of you are excited about in the email department that allows for Markdown and has full keyboard shortcuts enabled.

I'm still a Gmail user, though I do have the hotkeys turned on, and I love it. But, I just can't anymore with the text editor functions. And, also, Google....

Also, side question: Anyone using "Markdown Here"? It's an extension for writing emails in Markdown. https://markdown-here.com/

MailMate for MacOS! Fully Markdown, fully keyboard enabled, loads of great features.

So if you know about markdown-here (I didn't know about it, slightly tempted to try it out within Thunderbird, after seeing your post) -- are there any shortcomings? Any reasons you ask for a "native-markdown" client instead of using this? Just interested.

I only recently came across it, but haven't tried it. Like you, I'm intrigued.

Understand, unfortunate that markdown-here seems to have bugs. Thanks for the heads-up:)

So, I got a chance to play with Markdown-Here extension, and it's a neat function, but looks like there's a fair amount of bugs with not a lot of movement on any of the fixes these days. The conversation has sort of dried up over the past few years. Unfortunate.
