Re: [ietf-smtp] [Proposal] 250-MARKDOWN

You are right. I was worried that receiving server would not recognize
"text/markdown" as a media type since it was registered recently in the
RFC. So if a server started to recognize that as media type, I thought they
should do that via SMTP extension.

But yes, as Gilles Chehade said, it's related to DATA and shouldn't be
there. Even if that's possible, as Mr. Kletnieks said it's gonna break
digital signatures.

Hence, my proposal would not work.
