I know that there are some web browser extensions like Markdown Here, but do you guys know of clients that do the same natively?

Tangentially: I generally prefer plain text in email, but I really like this idea. Apparently someone in the Emacs ecosystem thought of this, though that probably doesn’t help you. Enhance Your Emails with Org Mode
Cool idea! AFAIK emails are just sent as text but the client renders them when you read them. Theoretically it wouldn’t be hard to send markdown and add a header that indicates the body is markdown. Hard part is integrating support into the client. Since HTML is more verbose than markdown, and you can often mix markdown and HTML, this could actually lead to space and data savings!
I think the idea is for your mail client to translate your Markdown into HTML before sending. To convince the whole world’s email ecosystem to directly support Markdown would be an impossibly large lift given that HTML is already virtually universally supported.
Yeah, thant0s the idea.
Thanks for the recommendation, I very quickly found “Markdown Here Revival” for Betterbird. Sorry that I don’t have a recommendation for you though.
Evolution does.
