+# NeoMutt helper script to create multipart/* emails with Markdown → HTML
+# alternative conversion, and handling of inline images, using NeoMutt's
+# ability to manually craft MIME trees, but automating this process.
+#
+# Configuration:
+# neomuttrc (needs to be a single line):
+# macro compose B "\
+# <enter-command> source '$my_confdir/buildmimetree.py setup|'<enter>\
+# <enter-command> sourc e \$my_mdwn_postprocess_cmd_file<enter>\
+# " "Convert message into a modern MIME tree with inline images"
+#
+# (Yes, we need to call source twice, as mutt only starts to process output
+# from a source command when the command exits, and since we need to react
+# to the output, we need to be invoked again, using a $my_ variable to pass
+# information)
+#
+# Requirements:
+# - python3
+# - python3-markdown
+# Optional:
+# - pytest
+# - Pynliner
+# - Pygments, if installed, then syntax highlighting is enabled
