I'm trying to understand the format parameter in text/plain messages,
and how format=flowed is handled by MHonArc.
This is an extract from RFC2646:
Starts Ends in
with One or Line
Quote More Spaces Type
------ ----------- ---------------
no no unquoted, fixed
yes no quoted, fixed
no yes unquoted, flowed
yes yes quoted, flowed
According to the table, a line that does not end with a space shall be
displayed in fixed format, whether it starts with the '>' character or not.
MHonArc seems to put only *quoted* lines that not end with a space
within <pre></pre> elements, while other such lines are displayed with
the default font. (The 'nonfixed' argument is not set. Tested with Perl
5.00503 freebsd and 5.6.1 MSWin32.)
I have tried to follow the code in mhtxtplain.pl for the flowed format,
but it's too much for me... ;-) Since I'm using Mozilla Mail, which
seems to set format=flowed whether I like it or not, I'm extra
interested in understanding this better.
Anyone who can bring some light on this topic?
/ Gunnar
