Dear Jason, Have you thought about using MailMate natively in its default composer setting, E.G. a modified text format?
I’m using it on this message and to me in text based composing, it looks fine. I only use Markdown (MM) to create my signature section. The message in MM on my view screen (Preview at right) setting shows the received layout for editors that display in line html content. This seems to work fine for most client side app users. How does it look to you? I do not believe the message system used here changes anything much. My composer settings of note… menu>Settings: *********** Composer>Preview>Display> ‘when generating HTML’ Replying/Forwarding HTML>’Embed when needed’ Embedding Method>’Inline CSS(Juice)’ *********** Rich Text (HTML)>Markup Syntax>’Markdown’ Default Theme>’Apple Mail’ Styling Method>’Inlining (recommended)’ *********** Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.
