the mailing list [1], nor on the web interface [2].  The latter shows
extra spaces on the context lines of the first hunk, though, which I
can't see anywhere else.  All the lines look fine in the citation of
Ramsay's reply [3].  So I don't know where these extra spaces are
coming from. :-/

Hmph, interesting.

https://public-inbox.org/git/54a5367f-f832-402c-f51b-3225c92b41ad@web.de/raw

has "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed".  That
page's rendition is more faithful to the bare text.

That explains it: Thunderbird 60 disables most older Add-ons, among them
Toggle Word Wrap, which used to turn off format=flowed for me.  I did
that now using the config settings mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed and
mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support.

The funky " -" one I showed was what Gnus/Emacs came up with as the
result of its best effort to make the format=flawed into something
closer to "text", I think X-<.  

Sorry. :(

In any case, I do not think format=flowed can be reverted reliably
(or can it be?  If so we should teach mailinfo to repair them).

RFC3676 gives me a headache, perhaps I should go to bed.  If we can
assume that lines don't have trailing spaces originally then we should
be able to reconstruct their contents, no?  "A generating agent SHOULD:
[...] Trim spaces before user-inserted hard line breaks.", i.e. lines
with trailing spaces are doomed to truncation without hope for repair.
