Let me suggest that at the IETF, where the mailing list is king, you can't join 
the Elite if you can't quote email properly.
Maybe we should *state* this.
Maybe I'm also concerned because many in the former "elite" have moved to Apple 
Mail, and it seems that it is bug
compatible with Outlook in it's assumption that format=flowed is the default, 
an act which destroys email quoting, and therefore discussion.

Two things:

1) I agree it's a pain. But in Thunderbird there is Edit --> Reflow which helps a lot. It's not perfect, but it makes the pain bearable.

2) You too are guilty. Your email was not flowed and with very long lines (not infinite like Apple, but still way more than 80 characters).
