Mail Drop
Mail Drop allows you to send emails to a unique email address and have those messages imported automatically into Drafts. When you enable Mail Drop, you will be assigned a unique email address. Send an email to that address, and its content will be imported into Drafts and appear in your inbox. Great for getting information into Drafts from anywhere.

Mail Drop requires Drafts Pro.
HTML to Markdown
Drafts has always has Markdown parsers to turn Markdown into HTML. We’ve now added tools to turn HTML back into Markdown. It’s not perfect, but converts a lot of common HTML elements into their Markdown counterpart–including headings, emphasis, lists, quotes, and more.
By default, when pasting text into Drafts’ editor, if an HTML version of the content is available in the clipboard, Drafts will prefer this version to the plain text version and convert it to Markdown before pasting. The most common use cases for this is copying from web pages, where the browser typically places an HTML version of the content you copy in the clipbaord. You can control this behavior, and some stylistic elements of the coversion, in settings.
These conversion features can also be used via scripting with the new HTMLToMarkdown object, and in web capture templates used when sharing from Safari, which now support a new [[selection_markdown]] template tag that inserts the Markdown converted version of the text selection, rather than the plain text one. Learn more about the Web Capture Template.
Lastly, a new “HTML to Markdown” Shortcuts app action has been provided to access this conversion as a service from other shortcuts.

Folder Icons
A cosmetic change, but worth calling out: The folder tabs above the draft list for the Inbox, Flagged, and Archive tab have been changed to icon representations. They still behave the same.
