Yes, the rfc3676_handler() code for some reason chooses to add a trailing space when displaying the reflowed message, but not when replying. I don't know why it was done this way. Perhaps certain editors liked it better that way when generating flowed emails? If anyone knows, please chime in.

The only problem I see there is if people use format strings in $indent_string. Those strings represent the value of the replied message, and so wouldn't really be appropriate to use for the existing quotes. (Just to be clear, the *new* quote should certainly use $indent_string). After thinking about it, I'm leaning towards something like $reflow_space_quotes. If set, and your $indent_string = "| ", ">>>Foo" would become "| > > > Foo". If unset, it would become "| >>>Foo". (Keeping the weird spacing behavior for now.) -- Kevin J.
