yes, I am also modifying editor per recipient. At least I did it for 
this and some other experiments. Often I call the editor through some 
content/formatting wrapper.

Other than that I have little understanding what and how text_flowed really 
does, used to do, is supposed to do and what other mailers are doing - other 
than getting complaints from people whose client can not handle the one or the 
other setting.
I used to have text_flowed enabled by default for some time until Thunderbird 
changed its default behaviour and Thunderbird users were complaining.

Somehow it seems to boil down to many mailers no longer supporting plain text
email very well as opposed to html for which reason I have inventend a long 
list of crutches.
