My MUA is mostly - entirely, from some perspectives -

However, none of that is relevant. I went back and checked again (I
keep a separate copy of all mail that hits my inbox for some weeks).
Here is the Content-Type: from Dave's mail, the one that I was replying
to when I brought this up, as it hit my inbox:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Note the complete lack of format=flowed. And I do get quite enough
mail that _is_ marked format=flowed; quite aside from it not being
designed to, there's pragmatic evidence it's not my code stripping it.
Let me be clear: I wasn't suggesting your MUA/MTA was defective.
Someone asked the question, I was just answering my recollection. :-)
As far as Mail.app not doing format=flowed anymore, I was completely
unaware of that, and I find it kind of egregious. It's a shame; I
rather like it in general, but it's been doing things that get on
my nerves in the most recent version, so I suppose I'll have to go
MUA shopping. I'm not a huge fan of Thunderbird, but it does have
a much better extension architecture and doesn't lack what I would
consider important features (such as line wrapping).
