Hi,

Someone else questioned (corrected) that as well.  It also
conflicts with the Linux kernel file:Documentation/email-clients.txt (extract):

- Edit your Thunderbird config settings so that it won't use format=flowed:
      user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false);

Yeah, TB got me.  They have two options; one is 'disable...flowed', and you
set that one to true.  The other (relevant here) is 'send...flowed', and that's
supposed to be false.  Jakub Narebski had caught that for me earlier; correct patch
sent.

Cheers,

Jeremy
