I've used Multimarkdown Composer for over a year now and use it throughout the day to write documents, take notes during meetings and calls, etc. It's a reliable tool that's under active development and has a developer that is accessible and responsive. You could also take a look at

I suppose each will have their own personal answer to this. I enjoy writing in Sublime Text. It's an extremely powerfull text editor and I can leverage that power when composing emails now. Smart brackets, multiple cursor and various plugins make it a joy to use. Cheers, Pedro On 21 Mar
