I use a sendmail hook for this: https://github.com/wincent/wincent/blob/1e690483e5dd8/roles/dotfiles/files/.mutt/config/hooks.mutt#L19 This pipes the mail through this wrapper script, which creates a multipart message if the body starts or ends with "!m" (the "m" here stands for Markdown): https://github.com/wincent/wincent/blob/1e690483e5dd8/roles/dotfiles/files/.mutt/scripts/msmtp.rb Fun fact, pretty much every message in this thread looks terrible in Google Inbox on iOS (and presumably Gmail on iOS) because the lines are all hard-wrapped but too long to fit on the screen, leading to alternating long (soft-wrapped) and short (hard-wrapped) lines. Looks nice in mutt, of course, but less than 1% of the people I exchange email with are using that, so I decided to set 'textwidth' to 0 in Vim, which means my emails have long lines in them (gasp!) and mutt will automatically use quoted printable to format them, which looks decent pretty much everywhere: https://github.com/wincent/wincent/blob/1e690483e5dd8/roles/dotfiles/files/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim Cheers, Greg
