Agreed. So in other words, nothing about this problem is related to
RFC3676. ISTR that Netscape Navigator 2.0 did the same thing with
text/plain.
"this problem" == extremely long lines == RFC 3676 section 3.1 "use
CRLF to represent paragraph breaks [...] Text which meets this
description is defined by this memo as "flowed" [...] software products
erroneously label this format as Text/Plain, resulting in much user
discomfort"
Unfortunately, 3676 and its predecessor label the format as text/plain.
