format=flowed

[John Hawkinson]

Only tangentially relevant, I spent a while trying to get format=flowed to work effectively a year or so ago and couldn't easily do so (perhaps I was testing against Gmail, I don't recall), and ended up just converting to sending messages with no line-breaks at all within each paragraph.

Like this.

I'm not particular proud of this, and it's incompatible with quoting, so I put hard line breaks when I quote text, and it's somewhat annoying to compose (I use emacs' M-x visual-line-mode to do so), but it certainly wraps properly in most clients.
