It is regular Markdown, and further, any drawings within are conformed to a 70 character terminal, so that they might be rendered correctly doing `less` on an 80 character terminal.) 6 7 This is very macro (i.e. zoomed in heavily), and there's really little to it. 8 9 Programs that en/dequeue messages in the qmail system seem to have this protocol that faces other qmail programs on the same system. It resembles the error reporting in QMTPD and QMQPD - K, Z and D (oKay (25x), snooZe (4xx), Denied (5xx)) - although it doesn't use netstrings as it's not a network protocol and is CRLF delimited. I call this protocol QMIP.
