Because this is not the kind of company where wiki's are accepted, we tend to do a lot of communication through outlook. Sending code snippets through it is painfull. Is there some way to get the markdown thing we have here, but in outlook?

Per their wiki:

A simple plugin for Outlook 2013 which adds a button to the compose mail menu to enable Markdown mode. When enabled your email will be turned from Markdown syntax to html when sending.

  • Uses MarkdownSharp for the markdown conversion
  • Uses VSTO to integrate with Outlook
  • Uses an Installer Project to build an installer
