I've never worked with Email::Simple::Markdown, but the doc says you feed it with Markdown and it creates a multi-part email with the original text and the generated HTML version.

From your previous description mentioning templates it seems you fed it with HTML right away, which could explain all your problems.

Probably you just want to use Email::Simple ?
