In theory format:flowed was designed to solve exactly that issue but I am wondering how many of the mobile MUAs do handle it? From what I am reading the format.flowed support has a fairly bumpy history of implementation (eg. Thunderbird) so it might be that html will enable better and more portable results for mobile devices. I was wondering if anyone has a script to convert normal mail messages to format flowed stuff and back? Could be used as an editor wrapper script instead of trying to reimplement the functionality in every editor. Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers
