Sigh, this always struck me as a problem with the current 
multi-mode setup, hobbling the forum to the lowest-common 
denominator capabilities of the older newsgroup/mail readers. 
Markdown is meant to be readable as a markup language, so maybe 
it can be supported by the DFeed forum alone:

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

If another, more capable but less readable markup is wanted, 
another possibility I just thought of is to only accept markup 
from the web interface and then to have DFeed convert the markup 
into something readable in plain text when sending to the 
newgroup/mailing list, ie DFeed keeps its own slightly different 
version of any particular post.

If Pavel or whoever puts in markdown support in DFeed, which is 
perfectly readable on its own, or does some sort of conversion of 
markup for the newsgroup/mail, are there any objections to 
sending straight markdown or this conversion workaround?
