I am also exploring the use of `text/markdown` as the default content type for my emails.

My groff/troff reply to your earlier suggestion of this was only somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Markdown isn't a singular clearly-specified syntax, but a family of them with several popular flavors in widespread use (as Timo's parser option challenges indicate). If anything, text/x-rst is probably a more suitable choice for such purposes, but Markdown vs reStructuredText religious wars are almost like modern reflections of the vi vs emacs skirmishes of yore.
