3) Create a new Content-Disposition for "display-wrap".

This has the advantage of indicating the wrapping or non-wrapping desires
of the sender, but doesn't dork with the definition of text/plain.

I find this option unacceptable.  "Plain text with CRLF representing line
breaks" and "plain text with CRLF representing paragraph breaks"  are
semanticly different media types.  The operation of line wrapping
demonstrates this because it often damages the former and never damages
the latter.  In addition, the former works fine with ascii art and tables
while the latter may not work.
