I'm not planning to support wiki markup in the body of the text,
if only because I don't like the idea of sending HTML emails.
I've been thinking that one would be able to substitute
page text vars with a {$$:var} markup... but that's still
speculative at this point.

You would want to run MarkupToHTML() on the entire body text, and
then add any additional <html>...</html> wrappers.
The PRR() function does nothing more than tell the MarkupToHTML
engine to restart processing. PRR() doesn't do any processing of
its own. Beyond that, in the version I have the MarkupToHTML() is
not ever called when processing the mail request.

Tons of them, which is why I'm not planning to head in that direction.
