Two other things I dislike about using Markdown for email is that bold (⌘B) wraps the text in two asterisks (and visually *bla* is italic),
Totally agree.
Shouldn't Markdown for email be using **bla** for bold (since that translates to <strong> AFAIK)?
And I'd argue that *bla* is visually bold, whereas _bla_ is visually italic.
<semi-rant> I must confess to not being a fan of the fact that *bla* and _bla_ are synonymous in Markdown, because visually they are not synonymous (*bla* carries more visual weight than _bla_).

But that's just me. </semi-rant>
