Description
Since the eMail notifications are sent in plain text, the Textile formatting looks somewhat "strange". We should replace it with the Markdown syntax, which was made for using common eMail formatting styles and might be easier to read in a plain text eMail.
Additionally AFAIK we are still using Textile 1 in PP (Textile 2 is the actual version).

Hi,
Why don't we use a WYSIWYG-editor? This way everybody can work with markup in PP.
PP 0.8 is using Textile 2.0 beta, which has a few issues (ex: add a new message or comment in PP and type in something like "!someimage!" and watch it not work). There is an official 2.0 release at http://textile.thresholdstate.com/.
TinyMCE 3 was just released...seems faster than previos versions...but Textile may still be faster.
I love TinyMCE and I'm using it in my CMS.
But with Textile i have found one error:
# *bold text* - some description
# *bold text* - some description
# *bold text* - some description
it parses the bold part, but numbered list does not show up - # shows in the output.
