I was using Microsoft Outlook Express, which does not support format=flowed.
Turns out this is not entirely true.
Outlook Express *does* have some support for format=flowed, but not as much as Thunderbird.
Using the default setting of "Encode Text Using" = "None" (as opposed to "quoted-printable"), it will generate messages with format=flowed, and it will happily re-flow quoted replies so that they fit into the 78 (or whatever) columns.
However, it does not re-flow format=flowed messages for display, which kind of wastes half of the point of format=flowed. I think this may be linked to the fact that it doesn't do anything clever with the way is displays quoted messages; you just see the original ">" characters.
Thunderbird *does* re-flow format=flowed messages for display, and quoted messages are shown using quote bars.
So Outlook Express with the default settings would be list-friendly but not user-friendly.
But Thunderbird is list-friendly *and* user-friendly.
(This message will be sent using Outlook Express with the default settings. It'll be interesting to see how it appears in the resultant e-mail, and also in the list web archive.)
