I wanted to introduce the keyword "MARKDOWN" in the list of EHLO response.
So the client can understand and transfer the messages directly with
content type "text/markdown"

The content type is part of the message, not part of the protocol


I'm using the content type in the message right?

also your rationale seems to equate one SMTP session to one message but a

Ok what am I missing here? When a server says that "I recognize markdown
format", then the client gonna send markdown messages as it is. I
understand a session can transport multiple messages. But why do you think
it won't work?

In my proposal, I provided content type in the message header to simplify
the example.
