This is exactly what I would like to see.
I originally ran into this problem with Emailer because I needed to send
text "command lines" to listserv software on a distant computer, and was
having lines intended as single command lines broken in two. Eudora was the
only way I could get around that difficulty. From my perspective, a lot of
people would like to see this, although certainly they are a minority of
E-mail users. I appreciate all the priorities that must have affected things
(as Paul B pointed out), but I really would like to see this feature added.
I do view 'Rage as a sort of "son of" OE, and was rather expecting that
things that had been complained about in OE might be fixed in 'Rage. I am
disappointed that this one didn't make the cut, but I am not being critical.
I think the product is wonderful! I just want to lobby for format=flowed in
the near future.

Hmm. Am I correct that, currently, 'Rage won't show format=flowed either?
That is what I meant, earlier, about having unwrapped messages "wrapped" by
'Rage. Perhaps the situation is, if I understand what you said earlier
correctly, that the text is marked format=flowed, but is actually wrapped
when sent; the receiving program is expected to unwrap it. Eudora can do
that, but 'Rage cannot. Is that how it stands?
