Did anything change in the latest MailMate build(s) in regards to the

No major changes I think.
I used to be able to escape Markdown characters with a leading
backslash ('\') and the character would show up as the normal
character. With this latest build (maybe before then I'm not sure),
the '\' character shows up in the HTML output.
For instance, this "This\_is\_a\_test". As you can see, the
backslashes are present. Before what would show up in the HTML output
would be 'This _ is _ a _ test' (without the spaces).
Thoughts?
For some time, MailMate has been better at detecting when Markdown is
not really needed and then not generate HTML. Maybe this is the problem.
So, writing a message with:
This \*is\* a test.
Is going to fail because MailMate does not find any HTML markup after
Markdown conversion and only generates a plain text body part (including
the escapes).
But this won't fail, because non-escaped Markdown is used elsewhere
(triggering generation of HTML).
This \*is\* a test. This *is* a test.
I might overlook something, but I think I can fix it by simply removing
any use of escaped characters when Markdown is enabled (and Markdown is
not really needed).
Does the above explain what you see?
(Friendly reminder: Please do not post both a lighthouse ticket and on
the mailing list. I see both instantly and then I have to reply twice
