I have installed the new Eudora 4.3 and have come upon a minor issue with 
how MhonArc formats the messages. Eudora has implemented a new message 
formatting standard called "flowed" which overall seems to be a useful 
advance in message formatting (as opposed to HTML formatting). Details 
about this can be found at:

        <http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1625hq.html>
        <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt>

Message text is nested in flowed tags like this:

        header info
        Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

        <x-flowed>
                message text
        </x-flowed>

Examples of the resulting MhonArc output can be seen in messages at:

        <http://www.volcano.si.edu/gvp/gvn/world/index.htm>

So, my enhancement request to Earl is for a patch to the mhtxtplain filter 
that will strip out the <x-flowed> and </x-flowed> tags, similar to what 
was just implemented in the mhtxthtml filter for 2.4.5 for some HTML tags.

Future exploitation of this format might be helpful to users who have 
issues with the use of the <PRE></PRE> tags by MhonArc.
