When writing longer emails it helps to be able to emphasis words, section the email, quote, create bullet lists and hide long links behind a title. All of these would work nicely if email clients would support (and default to) markdown.
Attachments are sufficient for images, but with markdown I could still inline them when it makes sense.
Fonts/colors are very frustrating every time I compose emails and copy/paste text.
