   So, if HotdogEd doesn't support format=flowed, wouldn't it be better to use   
   'flowed=off'?   
      
   Or while using HotdogEd with flowed=off, it still wraps at the 72/79 columns   
   set by jam/smapinntpd, which then HotdogEd would still wrap the text early   
   because it doesn't have that many columns on the screen?

    CN> [SP] is a regular space (ASCII 32)   
      
   Both of these look fine on Thunderbird (with flowed=on), as well as tin (with   
   flowed on and off), and slrn (with flowed on), and I'm still unsure   
   format=flowed is supported in either of the last two mentioned.   
      
   Maybe tin and slrn can deal with incoming format=flowed, but just don't post   
   that way..?   
      
   So is it a HotdogEd problem that you're looking to come up with a work around   
   for, specifically?
