emate CLI to generate HTML from markdown

#1481

Mailmate: Version 1.9.4 (5234)

Hi Bennie,

I need to automate the sending of a call for paper which text is written in Markdown.
I was thus expecting to be able to use the emate CLI to perform this operation, i.e. ensuring a markdown based markup and an HTML generated version of the mail (from the interpreted markdown). My first attempt failed:

cat call_for_papers.md | emate mailto --send-now --header "format: flowed" --header "markup: markdown" --to "<recipient 1>" --subject "Call for Papers - <subject>"

However, while it seems my guess was correct as regards the html generation, the mail remains formatted by default in plain text.
Any hint ?

    Sorry about the late reply!

    I've changed it such that the next update of MailMate allows the use of --header "#markup: markdown".
