Perhaps starting the body of a plain text message with a first line of ".markdown", or something similar, to signal that the text should be poured though the markdown filter before posting and storage?
I just wanted to note that it seems to be a common thing that a text entry starting with "%md" (without the quotes) indicates that text should be treated as Markdown. I checked the RFCs but don't see any reference to that, so that's why I'm saying it just seems to be common practice rather than a standard. For example, starting a message with:
%md ##This message is in **Markdown**!
would cause the message to be interpreted in Markdown. That's one option.
