I still hope to see text/markdown as an officially supported content type by email clients.

I guess it could be added to something like Thunderbird. Would be really nice.

Not useful proposal. Markdown is both limited and ambiguous. It's okay for writing by hand more naturally than HTML, but the sender should parse it and then explicitly indicate which characters are bold, which ones are underlined, etc, and you're back at a subset of HTML.
