+# markdown2html.py — simple Markdown-to-HTML converter for use with Mutt
+#
+# Mutt recently learnt [how to compose `multipart/alternative`
+# emails][1]. This script assumes a message has been composed using Markdown
+# (with a lot of pandoc extensions enabled), and translates it to `text/html`
+# for Mutt to tie into such a `multipart/alternative` message.
+#
+# [1]: https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/commit/0e566a03725b4ad789aa6ac1d17cdf7bf4e7e354)
+#
+# Configuration:
+# muttrc:
+# set send_multipart_alternative=yes
+# set send_multipart_alternative_filter=/path/to/markdown2html.py
+#
+# Optionally, Custom CSS styles will be read from `~/.mutt/markdown2html.css`,
+# if present.
+#
+# Requirements:
+# - python3
+# - PyPandoc (and pandoc installed, or downloaded)
+# - Pynliner
+#
+# Optional:
+# - Pygments, if installed, then syntax highlighting is enabled
+#
+# Latest version:
+# https://git.madduck.net/etc/mutt.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/.mutt/markdown2html
