I see and I understand the complexity… Is there a keyboard shortcut I
could use to set Markdown? At least I can save a mouse move.
On a related note, I think I opened a case for this, the Markdown parser
should not take a '--' symbol as a horizontal line, as it currently
does, it has to be at least 3 '-' characters, as per the markdown
specification.
Thank you.

What is the mechanism that decides the setting for Markdown/No

this always Markdown or more clearly show when markdown is
automatically selected?
It is a tricky problem to determine whether or not Markdown can be
enabled for a reply. The replied text might contain syntax which is
interpreted to be Markdown syntax without the original writer
intending it to be so.
MailMate handles it by doing a conversion of the quoted text to HTML
as if it was Markdown text. If any non-trivial HTML is in the
resulting HTML then Markdown is disabled, because it indicates
non-intended use of Markdown. This is heuristic and it might be a bit
too conservative as it is now. For examples, replies to this mailing
list (to plain text messages) are always non-Markdown by default. This
is because the footer results in both a horizontal ruler and some
links in HTML (this could be avoided if I had implemented automatic
stripping of footers, but that is a different story).
