I have been trying to read up on format=flowed and the patches you referenced, but frankly both the above patch and the revised gentoo version at: http://sourceforge.net/p/gentoomuttpatches/code/ci/default/tree/07-quote.patch make no sense to me. Below, the first column indicates the "original" content of an email. The second column is the output when replying using the FreeBSD patch, and the third column is output when replying using the Gentoo patch. (with unset text_flowed; set quote_quoted) Original FreeBSD Patch Gentoo Patch ======== ============= ============ > > > foo > > >> foo > > > > foo >>>foo >>>>foo >>>>>>foo > > foo > >> foo > > > foo >>foo >>>foo >>>>foo > foo >> foo >> foo >foo >>foo >>foo foo > foo > foo Even if this made any sense, both patches override reflow_text when replying, and the FreeBSD patch uses a fixed buffer size, making them unsuitable for just applying. I'm baffled that these patches are helping you, or why anyone would want to turn them on. I can only guess that I have missed something. That said, I think I understand your complaint when replying to a format=flowed email with "unset text_flowed; set reflow_text". This generates strange output, since it just prepends $indent_string.
