Yes, you're right. I was not aware of that option - looks like it was added in 1.5.22 (I'd been using alternative workarounds since at least 1.5.5), so maybe it was added in response to one of the earlier bugs and I just didn't realize that an option needed to be toggled off? However, if I'm understanding the description right, it seems like this should be ignored like $indent_string (or at least turned off when not explicitly set) if $text_flowed is unset... are there other conditions under which this setting would be useful? I would think that sending the reply through the rfc3676_handler when not generating flowed_text would be broken behavior. w
