I see no need for nail to generate format=flowed because the user
formats his input text himself according to Unix traditions (and,
implicitly, even by the definition of a text file in POSIX). I
have always understood format=flowed as a workaround for messy
GUI text input fields, where the user most often has no effective
control over the text formatting anyway.

Reading format=flowed should not be a problem as its lines should
be below 80 characters according to RFC 2646. If this is not the
case, the sending MUA should be fixed.

If somebody thinks that nail should do something different in this
area, he should submit a patch, with all new behavior being optional.
