Since those are not the pagers I use for my mail, no, they don't take care of me, either. Certainly not when responding, in which case I am forced to reformat your text by hand in order to insert the ">" character on each line to mark quoted material. I assume you're using Mail.app as a user-agent. Apple used to do this right -- they wrapped the lines at 72 columns or thereabouts, but then marked the text as "format=flowed" in the MIME headers, so readers wishing to rewrap it could do so. In recent versions they've broken this again. Woo hoo. Because, you know, all the world's a Mac and every user-agent is Mail.app. This is, admittedly, less evil than the Android mail client's unalterable behavior of base64-encoding *all* message data, even that which would be perfectly readable as plain ASCII text.
