I agree “format=flowed” is the best solution in theory. Maybe it would help if 
reference-implementations were easily available (e.g., C++ and javascript) -- 
including a test suite. Similar to CommonMark I guess. It might still be 
possible to put pressure on most email client developers to add support for at 
least parsing “format=flowed” correctly. That would, in time, make it easier 
for email clients like MailMate to default to using “format=flowed” for 
outgoing emails.
