OK. It's Monday, and I'm dense. If you're wrapping your lines so each
is <80, what's the point of format=flowed? Just so an MUA can take ONE
pre-flowed paragraph and re-write it as ANOTHER one?
Precisely. Think about devices with screens narrower than 80 columns,
wider than 80 columns or ones that use proportional fonts. format=flowed
is a minor tweak which allows such devices to work great on the Internet
without breaking other things as a side effect the way sending long lines
does.
