If both the sending and receiving client support
format=flowed, [...]
Google tells me that apple mail does format=flowed by default, [...]
I suspect Google partially misled you. I don't use Mail.app myself,
any more than any other closed-source program, but those who do tell me
that Mail.app used to do format=flowed correctly and then was changed
to not do so, so it apparently matters what version is at issue.
In any case, the message that provoked my remark was not marked
format=flowed - I checked - though of course I'm not in a position to
know whether this is the fault of its originating UA or some
intermediate software. (I'm fairly sure it is not software under my
control, though.)
So, when David Riley sends mail from apple mail, what
sort of client
do you have to be using to have trouble reading paragraph-long lines?
One that recognizes that format=flowed does not apply when it's not
actually present.
