format=flowed mails are just ordinary text/plain mails which stores some 
information about line breaks and quoting level by following some 
conventions laid out in RFC 2646. (Home exercise, without reading the 
RFC, look at the mail source and try to figure out in what way it differ 
from a normal text/plain non-format=flowed mail)

The problem is that we presently can't preserve this information in the 
compose window without using the vertical bar.

On the other hand, could someone tell us _why_ they hate the vertical 
bar? It would be most interesting to know, so that we can make the 
message display better.
