I have problems reading newsletter from HackerNews[1]

Some time ago they decided to change they readable text email with unreadable
markdown source code. I reported this but got no reply. I love those
Newsletter, but I don't want to read them with Fancy. I prefer to read the
text email.

Is there anything you can do to make the text email render as Markdown, best
if it was just syntax highlighting and maybe formatting.

How hard would be to implement this in Python. Can python plugin do something
like this. Is there similar plugin that can be modified to have something
like this?

I would like to modify text based email based on From header? Or maybe there
is something in Claws that allow to this in simpler ways. I think that there
was feature that allow to modify the messages using shell scripts, but I
don't remember what it was and if you can use to reformat the emails. I don't
even know what that feature was called so I don't know what to search for.
