ok. then we'd want some option i could encode in my .mh_profile saying to do the autowrap heuristic to guess when format=flowed is in use but has not been signalled, and only when isatty(STDOUT_FILENO) is true; and another option that i can use in my shell scripts that forces this to happen even with isatty() is false. i want "show | patch" to work with no special options, but i want "show" to look right for most e-mail with no special options. i think we can do this. it's just more subtle, but tty UI's are always subtle. (that's probably why i like tty UI's.) > Of course, if the MIME content-type header does state format=flowed, > then auto-wrapping should occur as defined by the format=flowed > spec.
