Dear Albrecht,
thank you very much for the explanation. (though your letter doesn't
look RFC-compatible and even Balsa-written ;))
Best regards, Ildar

For flowed messages the line length on the wire will be <= 72 chars as
recommended by RFC 2822. However, the lines within paragraphs will end in
"soft line breaks" which are be removed upon reception by RFC 2646 aware
agents. Others which do not know about this standard (like M$ lookout) will
treat the soft line breaks as hard ones and display the all lines with <= 72
chars.
You can check that by looking at the message source. The lines with soft
breaks will (in quoted printable encoding) end in "<space>=20<cr><lf>" which is
the soft break.
Cheers, Albrecht.
