Markdown or another simple markup in posterous?
I like that posterous converts urls to links, but bloggers link *words* to urls. Any chance you'll include support for markdown syntax (or some other simple markup) so we can send add formatting even when sending text emails to posterous? The important markups that come to mind are links, bold and italics. That would be a good start!
I’m looking for more!

Inappropriate?I couldn't agree more. I keep waiting for this - right now it just doesn't make a lick of sense to me: we are writing our blog posts as emails, but if we're not working in a web editor then actually putting the things together is terribly frustrating. And Markdown is already designed from the way that people structure their text for writing in the context of emails, so it couldn't be more natural a fit. I keep waiting for this shoe to drop.
I’m stymied

Any progress on markdown@posterous? Seems like a natural fit. -
Any update on this Garry? I'd love to see it soon :) You guys keep putting great updates though so I understand there's a priority for everything. Thanks!
-
Inappropriate?That's great -- and I'm looking forward to the other features you've got coming too!! -
Inappropriate?I'm dying without this feature! It's all that's keeping me from switching full-time.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?please add this soon. posterous is so easy via mail. But going to the we interface just to add lists and nice links is such a bother.
i really think this feature is mandatory. And markdown is so damn nice.
I’m surprised
-
Inappropriate?Markdown support would be most welcome, thanks for looking into this Gary. -
Inappropriate?For me also would be a big spin!
I like posterous and its simplicity... something like markdown or textile would be great! -
Inappropriate?The "coming weeks" prediction up top was 6 months ago. suck. I was hoping to show up and have it in place already like a lucky, moochy late arrival. Any new ETA on this? As a fellow dev, I'd guess that his can't be a difficult implementation. Is it a question of the load of the additional process?
I’m stimied.

I'm really trying to snuggle in and commit with posterous. There are a couple things like this slowing me down though.

Inappropriate?+1 for Markdown also.
-
Inappropriate?I use regular html markup and it works fine for me. This includes links, lists, and style formatting.
I’m satisfied

+1. I don't personally see the need for a layer of abstraction on top of html.
-
Inappropriate?I found that html is working for me, too. This solves my need for markdown. Anyone else needing a markdown or textile should give html or "rich format" in your email client a try.
I’m happy.

Inappropriate?I get inconsistent results with rich text in my mail client.
And sure, I could write HTML, but then... posterous is supposed to be simple.
Markdown combines simplicity and control. I hope they still consider it as a future addition.
