Aye. I use format=flowed all the time; there's stuff in the wiki about 
settings to go with it, for example to make composition easy.

The specification itself is here:

    https://tools.ietf.org/rfcmarkup?doc=3676

I might stick in a PR to add that link to the manual.

It is quite conservations, to minimise the implementation burden. And 
that frugality is likely where the inflexibility about ">" comes from.
