There is already such a format implemented in Mozilla and it is described in
RFC 2646. It's format=flowed as you may have seen mentioned in this news
group. Apart from Mozilla (and NS6), it is used by Eudora and Hotmail.
Such mails are recognizable by their content-type which contains the key
words: "format=flowed". For any mail program that don't know about or support
format=flowed, the mail is handled as a normal text/plain mail. The only
problem being that the soft line breaks are converted to hard line breaks.
