> So the fact that it’s in a post makes the markdown come into effect, whereas when Discourse itself previews the HTML in the overlay window in my post above, it’s not going through the markdown engine?

Yes, the contents of the post is a result of the email HTML being converted to Markdown, which is then converted back to HTML to display in your browser.

The HTML tab in the Incoming Email modal is just the email HTML being rendered in your browser directly.
