How about de-wrapping incoming wrapped mail? Is it even consistently

format=flowed does essentially this. If a client does it properly (and says
it's doing it in the headers) then what happens is the text is hard wrapped
at 80 spaces at the time of sending BUT a space is appended to the end of
each line where wrapping is supposed to occur. So clients that can't
interpret f=f just see hard wrapped text. Clients which understand it can
string together the lines that make a paragraph and reformat it.
If it's not f=f text, then I don't think you want to get into reflowing it,
because of things like pre-formatted lists, like:
- one
- two
- three
You wouldn't want to rewrap that. You also wouldn't want to rewrap or space
the list above from the text before and after it, because I didn't want the
formatting that way. So the token for rewrapping is a space at the end of a
line followed by another line of text.
f=f also works with quoting, if the code works like it should.
I'll add an f=f link to the git wiki.
