I just tried creating a note in Leopard Apple Mail and it supports bulleted lists (Format ? Lists ? Inserted Bulleted List). This note was placed in the Inbox. I'm guessing the same can be done on Lion, but I cannot test that right now. I also tried creating a note on my iPhone and that note appeared in a special Notes mailbox within my IMAP account. Well, the main point of the above is that it is necessary to do some reengineering to support notes since it is not a documented format (as far as I know). Also, the notes are saved as HTML which is not supported by MailMate when editing although that part could perhaps be handled by some Markdown <-> HTML conversion. The following is the raw version of the note created on the iPhone: ~~~ Subject: My first note...

I tried manually creating a `text/plain` note and it did appear on my iPhone, but it was converted to `text/html` when I edited it. I'll give it some more thought. Comments are welcome if anyone has some insight in how Apples notes work. -- Benny -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
